This is an application for condonation of late filing of an appeal against the judgment of the respondent’s appeal hearing authority on 28 January 2014. More
This is an appeal against the decision of the designated agent for NEC Engineering. Two issues were for contest before the Designated Agent i.e. the issue of arrear salaries and benefits on one hand and the issue of leave days on the other hand. At the onset of the appeal the appellant abandoned the first ground relating to salary arrears thus leaving only the issue of leave days. More
This matter is hereby disposed of in terms of Section 89 (2) (a) (i) of the Labour Act [Chapter 28:01]. This is so because after the appellant lodged its appeal on 1 September 2014 and as per Form LC 2 filed of record the Registrar by document stamped 16 September 2014 invited the respondent to put in his response to the appeal, nothing was ever done about the matter thereafter. It is apparent that this appeal has been abandoned hence the decision to dispose of it in the present manner. More
