I think there's a time limit on a disciplinary hearing and the penalty given,so the clock has been ticking.

RFL rules I do not know, but I have had plenty of experience of representing people and technically discipliary hearings can go on for years, they don't because the person is being paid so the company involved likes to keep it short.
Also it would be illegal to sack someone for being sick, they would have to prove that the person is "not capabable of completing their job description and you had no other rolls they could do within a reasonable time" and that does not apply to Chase. ( if they did he has a cast iron case at an ET)
