Place: no local area assigned from the source.

The Labour Court found David Morris’s holiday-pay complaint against Family Market was out of time and overturned the adjudication officer’s decision. The determination was dated 15 December 2017; the merits were not decided. Morris’s complaint concerned annual leave from 18 August 2014 to 31 March 2015. He confirmed that he received the correct entitlement from 1 April to 4 December 2015. He submitted his complaint on 5 January 2016, and the Court found there had been no breach within the relevant six-month period. The adjudication officer had awarded Morris €787.15 for economic loss and a further €500 in compensation. The Labour Court overturned that decision on Family Market’s appeal.
