Complaints of discrimination in relation to equal status must normally be referred to the Equality Tribunal within 6 months.
There are two stages to making an equal status complaint. Where an individual is thinking of making a complaint, he or she must first write to the service provider within 2 months of the alleged act of discrimination, stating the nature of the allegation and the intention, if dissatisfied with the response, to refer the case to the Director of Equality Tribunal. This is called notification.

If a receiver or liquidator has been appointed, then he or she takes over responsibility for the respondent's debts. The claim can be made against the liquidator/receiver.
If the business has simply been sold, then the situation is more complicated. It may be best to take legal advice in this situation. Often the agreement for sale will state who is responsible for what claims against the business. Alternatively, a claim can be made naming both the seller and the purchaser, who can then sort out between them who is responsible.
We would advise you to contact us without delay.
