File No: 50818
Applicant: [ ]
Date of incident: [ ]
Date the Tribunal was notified: Tribunal was notified on the [ ] and therefore outside the time period set out in Article 21 of the scheme.
Article 21 of the scheme states:
"Applications should be made as soon as possible but, except in circumstances determined by the Tribunal to justify exceptional treatment, not later than three months after the event giving rise to the injury. In the case of an injury arising out of an event which took place before the commencement of the Scheme, the application must be made not later than three months from the date of the commencement (subject, also, to the foregoing exception)".
The Applicant failed to furnish the tribunal with grounds as to why the application was not made within 3 months as provided for under the scheme nor grounds that warrant exceptional treatment. In light of Article 21, I refuse the application.
