BACKGROUND:
2. The Court investigated the above matter on the 25th of February, 1999. The Court's decision is as follows:
DECISION:
The Court considered carefully the written and oral submissions made by the parties. The Court taking into account the background to this case and particularly the claimant's previous experience of making a complaint to the University authorities finds that reasonable cause has been shown by the claimant for not referring the case within the six months required under the provisions of Section 19(5) of the Employment Equality Act, 1977. Accordingly the Court directs that the dispute be referred to an Equality Officer for investigation and recommendation.
