WRC says it had no jurisdiction over Matthew Reilly’s car-draw complaint

The WRC found it had no jurisdiction to hear Matthew Reilly’s Equal Status complaint against Link Credit Union Limited over his exclusion from a car draw. The decision was dated 17 December 2019; the merits were not decided. Reilly said he was refused entry to the draw despite his mother depositing money for his entry, and was told he could not use the car if he won. The WRC said he had not notified the credit union within two months or submitted the required ES1 form, and exceptional circumstances did not justify extending the period.
