Six months would be fair - but the test of for extension should be "reasonably practical" as in unfair dismissal claims, not the Protean "just and equitable" which makes employers defend the whole case to see whether was just and equitable.

And the Defendant should have the right to have the "reasonably practical" question taken as a preliminary issue - without consideration of the merits of the claim - so that if it is found that it would have been reasonably practical the case can be dismissed at once.

Preferably with costs, but that is another issue.
