The Workplace Relations Commission has said a man had a legitimate claim that his children’s therapist discriminated against him by not fully consulting him about their therapy.

But it cannot hear the separated man’s claim and refused to uphold it because he had not filed his complaint against her within time limits set out by the Equal Status Acts, and was therefore “out of time”.
