Consideration 1

Extract:

The complainant had been on leave and then fell sick. He should have informed the registrar or have taken steps to ensure that the communication containing the memorandum in reply to his complaint was forwarded to him. "Consequently it was his own fault that he did not receive the communication [...] and did not reply within the time limit. There is therefore no reason to grant him a further time limit for his reply. Moreover, this could have been done only if it had been requested before the expiry of the original time limit. [...] The complainant's application was tardy." Since the dossier contains several memoranda by the complainant, the Tribunal can take its decision in full knowledge of the facts.

Keywords

complainant; delay; new time limit; submissions; rejoinder; closure of written proceedings; negligence; health reasons
