The Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) found it lacked jurisdiction to consider Hugh Fagan’s disability discrimination claim against Aldi Stores (Ireland) LTD because it was filed outside the time limit. The decision was dated 4 September 2023; the merits were not decided. Fagan alleged discrimination, including a failure to provide reasonable accommodation, relating to events in September 2020. He sought an extension of time, citing confusion and difficulty filing the complaint, but the adjudicator found no justifiable excuse for the delay. An earlier harassment complaint was withdrawn.
WRC says it cannot hear Aldi disability discrimination claim because it was filed late
