WRC rejects Carmel Patton’s four complaints as out of time

The Workplace Relations Commission rejected former employee Carmel Patton’s four complaints against Edmund Henry trading as Henry & Co Solicitors after refusing to extend the filing deadline. Adjudication Officer Brian Dolan dated the decision 10 December 2024. Patton alleged that adverse behaviour compelled her to resign; the respondent denied the allegations and argued the complaints were late. The officer found no reasonable cause for the delay and did not determine the underlying allegations on their merits.
