    The authors first present some basic facts about simplicial complexes, simplicial homology, relative homology and collapsibility and prove (using Mayer-Vietoris exact sequence and Leray's Nerve theorem) some auxiliary topological, hereditary \(d\)-collapsibility results used later in the manuscript.\par The main result is theorem 1.5: ``\(K\) is a \(d\)-collapsible complex, \(t \ge 0\) an integer. Then the \(t\)-tolerance complex of \(K\), \(T_k(K)\) is \(h(t,d)\)-Leray.'' The authors prove that for any \(d\) and \(t\) there exists a positive integer \(h(t,d)\) such that for every \(d\)-collapsible complex \(K\), the \(t\)-tolerance complex \(K\), \(T_t(K)\) is \(h(t,d)\)-Leray.\par As an application, the authors prove Theorem 1.6: ``For \(K\) a 2-collapsible complex, \(T_1(K)\) is 5-Leray.'' The authors also present as application some new tolerant versions of the colourful Helly theorem.
