Going back on their word

I have an on-going case against my employer. Once the matter got to the Bargaining Council LTS provided a lawyer however as the matter was not settled due to the commissioner stating that he has no jurisdiction over the case. After numerous discussions about whether this matter is a review or not with numerous attorneys and an advocate from LTS they all agreed that this matter must be taken up in the labour court and that I will be covered. Upon preparing to take this to the Labour Court the LTS appointed a lawyer who wanted to use the service of an advocate in the labour court, which LTS was not prepared to pay for. They ensured me that they will use the service of another lawyer which will represent me in labour court without the service of an advocate. The new lawyer wanted according to LTS a review of the case in labour court. In my opinion and LTS own opinion through their lawyers this case is not a rewiev matter. For me this seems senseless that a point already settled (the review) has come up again and that LTS can go back on their word after their own lawyers/advocates has bind themselves to an opinion.
