Procedural Posture

Miscellaneous Labour Application / Ruling on Application for Extension of Time to Apply for Leave for Prerogative Orders

Legal Issues

  1. 1 Whether the applicant demonstrated sufficient cause for extension of time to apply for leave for prerogative orders of certiorari and mandamus
  2. 2 Whether alleged illegality in the termination process can justify extension of time beyond statutory limitation

Ratio Decidendi

The assertion of illegality cannot override the statutory requirement to file within six months. The application for extension of time is without merit and is dismissed.
