Condonation
A request for permission to continue with a labour or court process after a deadline was missed.
Definition
Condonation is fact-sensitive. A person usually needs to explain how late the step is, why it is late, what the dispute is about, whether the other side is prejudiced, and why the matter should still be heard.
