Labour Court dismisses victimisation appeal against hotel on time limit

The Labour Court dismissed Michail Michailidis’s victimisation appeal against Luxor Leisure Ltd Radisson Blu Royal Hotel because the complaint was made outside the statutory time limit. The merits were not decided. Michailidis sought an extension, citing illness and the pandemic. The hotel argued there was no reasonable cause for the delay. The Court found he had not shown how his illness prevented him from filing on time or how the pandemic stopped him using the WRC’s online facility within the six-month period. The determination was dated 27 February 2023.
