1. Appeal under Section 83 of the Employment Equality Acts, 1998 to 2007.
BACKGROUND:
2. This is an appeal by the Worker against the decision of the Equality Tribunal in a claim of discrimination brought by Ms Lina Kartunaviciute under the Employment Equality Acts 1998 to 2007 (the Acts).
A Labour Court hearing took place on the 12th May, 2009. The following is the Court's Decision.
DETERMINATION:
This is an appeal by Ms. Lina Kartunaviciute of an Equality Officer's Decision dated 23rd December, 2008, which found against her claim of discrimination on the race ground contrary to Sections 6(2)(h) of the Employment Equality Acts 1998-2007 (the Acts).
Ms. Kartunaviciute failed to attend the hearing set up by the Labour Court for 12th May 2009, her Solicitor was unable to make contact with her. Therefore, the Court finds that Ms. Kartunaviciute's appeal fails for lack of prosecution and the Equality Officer's Decision stands.
The Court so determines.
Signed on behalf of the Labour Court
