Permission to file a late appeal was refused because the proposed appeal was without merit on the admitted and documentary evidence and the defendant provided no reasonable explanation for the 17‑day delay; the defendant's post‑judgment affidavit was inadmissible because it did not relate to events after the judgment.

HCLA65/2003

Wage period means the period in respect of which wages are payable; parties may, in a genuine agreement, define the circumstances or timing when wages are payable (including built-in time elements for computation), but agreements that merely postpone the time wages become due in contravention of sections 22, 23 and 70 are void; the Labour Tribunal failed to make sufficient findings on what agreement, if any, governed when wages became payable, so the appeal is allowed and the matter remitted for retrial.
