Labour Court rejects late appeal in working-time case

By Saoirse Doyle

Labour Court ·

The Labour Court refused Ionela-Adina Iacobuta’s appeal against Kinlay Abbey Limited because it was lodged outside the 42-day limit. In a decision signed on 20 April 2026, the Court found she had not established exceptional circumstances to extend the deadline. The appeal concerned a complaint under the Organisation of Working Time Act, 1997. The Court did not consider its merits and said it had no jurisdiction to hear the substantive appeal.
