The Labour Court allowed Peter Hughes’s appeal against a Rights Commissioner’s decision and directed Quality Irish Stoves Ltd to pay him €3,500 for annual leave and public holidays. The determination was dated 17 September 2013. The Rights Commissioner had found Hughes’s claim out of time. The Labour Court accepted his explanation for a 17-day delay and extended the time limit. It found the company had not kept the required records and that the payments it made covered days worked, not annual leave or public holidays. The earlier decision was set aside.
