Facts of the Case

Background

The applicant employee was dismissed following a disciplinary hearing. The appeals officer incorrectly directed him to appeal to the Labour Relations Officer citing SI 15/06, when he should have appealed to the Labour Court. By the time the employee realized the error, the appeal period to the Labour Court had expired, necessitating a condonation application.
