For The Respondent  	: Mr C. Mavunga (Legal Practitioner)

MATANDA-MOYO L.,

This is an application for a review of the proceedings held before the Respondent. Applicants are seeking an order quashing the proceedings and  that fresh proceedings be held before an independent Labour Officer of Arbitrator. At the onset of the proceedings the Respondent’s Counsel raised a point in limine that there was no proper application before me. I dismissed that the application and indicated reasons would follow alongside the main judgment. These are the reasons:

Respondent’s Counsel argued that the application before me did not comply with Rule 16 of the Labour Court Rules. An application for review should set out the grounds and facts upon which it is based. Counsel for the Respondent argued that the application does not state the grounds on which this Court may review the decision of the Respondent. Counsel for the Respondent
