Labour Court rejects late equality appeal against Seanita Ltd

By Donal Gilhooly

Historic decision · Decision date:

Place: no local area assigned from the source.

The Labour Court refused Erico Luiz De Souza an extension to appeal a WRC employment equality decision against Seanita Ltd, finding it had no jurisdiction to hear the substantive appeal. The determination was signed on 28 April 2026. De Souza said fear of retaliation, losing contact with his WRC representative and personal circumstances explained the delay. Seanita Ltd argued there was no evidence of exceptional circumstances preventing a timely appeal. The Court found the explanations insufficient; it did not decide whether the equality complaint was well founded.
