The Labour Court dismissed Patrick Thomas Martin’s appeal against Frs Network after finding it was lodged three days beyond the statutory 42-day limit. Deputy Chairman Alan Haugh signed the decision on 28 January 2026. Martin said intermittent broadband and uncertainty over whether weekends counted caused the delay. The Court found other filing options were available and that misunderstanding the time limit did not justify missing it. It found no exceptional circumstances to extend the deadline, so the underlying temporary agency work complaint was not decided on its merits.
