Cullin Diamond Mine (Pty) v CCMA and Others (JR2061/2010) [2018] ZALCJHB 157 (19 April 2018)

The court found that the application for leave to appeal demonstrated reasonable prospects of success, particularly regarding whether the Labour Court should have interfered with the arbitrator's reinstatement order. The delay in filing the application was not excessive, and the interests of justice warranted granting condonation. Consequently, both condonation and leave to appeal were granted.
