Dootson v Royal Mail Plc: EAT 8 Jul 2010

EAT PRACTICE AND PROCEDURE – Time for appealing
The Appellant completed and signed a Notice of Appeal on 23 September 2009 but his lay representative made a mistake by calculating that the deadline expired on 7 and not 5 October 2009, and he lodged it 2 days out of time. There was no explanation for the delay up to the deadline and discretion was refused under rule 37.
