Labour Court says Brendan Dolan can appeal WRC time-limit decision

The Labour Court ruled that Brendan Dolan could appeal a Workplace Relations Commission decision that his protected disclosures complaint was out of time. The court’s determination was dated 15 September 2022. Dolan argued that the WRC decision could be appealed, while the HSE argued that the Labour Court lacked jurisdiction. The court decided only that the WRC decision was capable of appeal; it did not decide the underlying complaint, so the merits were not decided.
