1. Appeal under Section 83 of the Employment Equality Acts, 1998 to 2008.
BACKGROUND:

DETERMINATION:
This is an appeal by Antanas Varaskas (the Complainant) in his complaint alleging discrimination on race grounds by his former employer, MKBS Limited (in liquidation) under the Employment Equality Acts 1998-2008. The complaint relates to discriminatory treatment, including discrimination in respect of pay, and discriminatory dismissal. The Equality Tribunal found against the Complainant on all counts.
Prior to the hearing the Court was informed by solicitors instructed by the Complainant that they had come off record.
At the hearing of the appeal there was no appearance by or on behalf of the Complainant. The Court is satisfied that the Complainant was informed of the time, date and place of the Court sitting to consider the appeal.
In these circumstances the appeal is struck out for want of prosecution and the Court determines accordingly.
Signed on behalf of the Labour Court
