Johannesburg - Lawyers for Durban businessman Schabir Shaik lodged papers with the Constitutional Court on Monday appealing his corruption and fraud conviction and jail sentence.

Senior registrars' clerk Delano Louw confirmed that the papers filed included transcripts of the trial, the appeal and an application for condonation of late filing, explaining why they had missed the deadline to bring the Constitutional Court appeal.

Shaik was found guilty of two counts of corruption and one of fraud by Judge Hilary Squires in the Durban High Court in July 2005 and was sentenced to 15 years' in jail - a verdict upheld by a full bench of the Supreme Court of Appeal on November 6.
