Historic decision · Decision date:

Place: no local area assigned from the source.

The Labour Court affirmed the decision that Juris Akmentins’s working-time complaint was out of time, and his appeal failed. The Court found he had not shown reasonable cause for the delay. The merits were not decided. The determination was signed on 20 July 2022. Akmentins said he was unfamiliar with the law and could not arrange legal representation. The Court found that those reasons did not excuse missing the statutory time limit. His complaint concerned an alleged breach on 27 August 2020 and was received by the WRC on 14 March 2021, after the six-month deadline had expired on 26 February 2021.
