I certify that the Tribunal
(Division of Tribunal)
Chairman: Mr M. Gilvarry
Members: Mr. D. Morrison, Mr M. McGarry
heard this claim at Castlebar on 10th September 2009
Representation
Claimant: Michael O'Byrne, Solicitors, Kenlis Place, Kells, Co Meath
Respondent: Maggie O’Conor, Durcans Solicitors, Castlebar, Co. Mayo.
The determination of the Tribunal was as follows: -
The Tribunal was satisfied that notice of hearing had been duly served on the claimant. However, there was no appearance by him on the scheduled day of hearing. During the hearing of this case, it emerged that the claimant had been in contact with his representative on the 7th of September but had not been in contact since and failed to respond to his representatives attempts at communication.
Determination
The Tribunal finds that the claim under Unfair Dismissals Acts, 1977 to 2007 fails for want of prosecution. The claim under the Minimum Notice And Terms of Employment Acts, 1973 to 2005 can be re-entered by the claimant.
