Facts of the Case

Background

Appellant was dismissed from employment on 6 September 2017. He lodged his claim with the National Employment Council on 23 September 2019, more than two years after the cause of action arose. The Designated Agent dismissed the claim as prescribed. Appellant appealed, arguing prescription should run from March 2018 when respondent failed to comply with his demand.
