The Labour Court rejected John Smith's appeal and upheld the Rights Commissioner's decision that his holiday-pay complaint was out of time. The determination was dated 7 January 2002; the merits were not decided. Smith said he had believed a colleague's test case would apply to other workers and appealed the time-limit decision. Cementation Skanska (Ireland) Limited argued the appeal was out of time and said premium payments covered holiday pay.
