Echendu v William Morrison Supermarkets Plc [2008] UKEAT 1675_07_2006 (20 June 2008)
The application was out of time because the 28-day period runs from the date the notification is sent, not received. The appellant failed to show good reason for an extension, as personal pressures and posting errors do not justify non-compliance with strict time limits.
