Historic decision · Decision date:

Place: no local area assigned from the source.

The Labour Court dismissed Kevin Brunkard’s appeal against Loxam Limited after finding his unfair-dismissal complaint was brought outside the time limit and that no reasonable cause justified an extension. The determination was signed on 20 December 2017; the merits were not decided. Brunkard said he first filed a complaint form on 30 November 2016 but could not select the Unfair Dismissals Act online. The Court noted that the WRC told him on 13 December it was processing the complaint under the Industrial Relations Acts. He did not contact the WRC to correct this before the limit expired on 12 January 2017, and replied to a further letter on 17 February.
