The Labour Court granted a worker’s application to extend the time for bringing an employment equality claim against Gowran & District Community Employment Scheme. The decision was dated 7 January 2002; the merits of the claim were not decided. The worker had reported the events to an appropriate person in authority and was assured they would be addressed. The Court found exceptional circumstances because she reasonably believed legal action would not be needed. It extended the filing period to 12 months from the most recent alleged act of discrimination or victimisation.
