The applicant properly moved the court by citing Rule 55(1) of GN 106 of 2007 and Section 15(1) of the Law of Limitation Act, as the Labour Court Rules are silent on the period for filing revision applications, which is instead provided by the Employment and Labour Relations Act. The preliminary objection is dismissed.
