CoA grants UB chance to defend appeal

UB had failed to timeously file its notice to oppose an appeal brought against them by its former mechanical engineering lecturer Felix Masunga. Masunga appealed a High Court judgement in a case in which he had taken his former employer to court over a contractual dispute. He had taken the institution to court claiming reinstatement or damages after the employer terminated his contract.

Delivering the ruling Justice Monametsi Gaongalelwe stated that in consideration of the relevant issues in the application, the application has satisfied all the principles to be involved and is successful. The institution had delayed filing notice to oppose Masunga’s appeal by nine days.
