The Labour Relations Act and the CDR Rules give timeframes for the submission of referrals, applications and other documents.  A condonation application needs to be completed where the timeframes for submissions are not met.  The most common type of condonation application is for the late submission of the referral form (i.e. the referral is served on the CDR more than 30 days after the date of dismissal or after 90 days after the alleged unfair labour practice).

If you refer your case outside of the timeframes which are indicated, you will need to complete Section D of this referral form and send it together with your referral form.
