Labour Court lets worker’s late complaint against University College Cork proceed

The Labour Court accepted reasonable cause for a worker’s delay in filing a complaint against University College Cork and referred it to an Equality Officer for investigation and recommendation. The decision was signed on 3 August 1999; the complaint’s merits were not decided. The Court cited the claimant’s medical circumstances and an ongoing effort to resolve the complaint. University College Cork did not oppose the application and accepted that the delay had not prejudiced its position.
