The Labour Court refused Teresa Igoe an extension to appeal a Payment of Wages decision against Kildare & Wicklow Education & Training Board (Kwetb), ruling that it lacked jurisdiction to hear her late appeal. The determination was dated 10 August 2016. The appeal deadline was 2 May 2016, but the Court received Igoe’s appeal on 4 May. The Court found that illness, a one-day deadline miscalculation, a cancelled meeting, bank holidays and expected postal delivery did not prevent her from giving notice on time. The merits of the wage complaint were not decided.
