Labour Court rejects Franz Troysi’s bid to extend deadline for discrimination complaint

By Cathal Brosnan

Labour Court ·

The Labour Court rejected Franz Troysi’s application to extend the deadline for his disability discrimination complaint against Assurant Services (Ireland) Limited. The determination was dated 26 July 2013, and Troysi’s appeal failed; the discrimination merits were not decided. Troysi said ill health prevented him from filing sooner. Assurant argued there was no reasonable cause for the delay, pointing to two other employment claims Troysi pursued during the same six-month period. The Court found no explanation for why he had not filed the equality complaint within the time limit.
