I was unfairly dismissed with no representation although I had my own proof to back me up which they didn't want to look at. I had a sit down at ccma where we did not agree on the terms. I ended up having a heart attack and ended up in hospital for 3 months having to undergo a procedure and having a ICD unit attached to my heart. While I was hospitalized the CCMA tried calling me to which I could not attend. I could not reply to them because when I was discharged I had to go to hospital for regular check ups and did not have the time. I do have supporting documentation from hospital and my Dr will also offer his help. Please assist me as this will be 2 years and I could not afford a lawyer Thank you

I want to appeal an arbitration award for non payment of S&T allowances.

I have a High Court of Johannesburg matter which I have litigated myself since March because I could not afford representation. I am an Accountant. The Defendant's strategy is one of delay and pedantic adherence to my procedural defects. The matter went to Court on 6 May , but was postponed because the Defendant's Attorney stated that my Expert Reports were not preceded by a Notice of Intention to Amend. I then decided that I need an Attorney to take the matter to its conclusion. I have irrefutable documentary evidence of the Defendant's Misrepresentation, harassment of my Witness and tampering with evidence. I will pay for an Attorney's services once I win. I am even prepared to negotiate the payment of a premium, in the form of a percentage of my award. My claim was originally R7.9 mil, but my Actuary has claimed more. This premium will therefore be a handsome sum of money. A Senior Counsel Advocate has said that "my prospects of success are excellent", after perusing my documents. Please assist a layman, who has suffered a severe injustice at the hands of a self-proclaimed "multi-millionaire", to get the Justice he deserves. Most of the groundwork in this matter is already done.
