The decision of the Tribunal was as follows:-

Background:

The appellant was made redundant from his position on the 30^th December 2011 and was given a statutory redundancy payment.  The appellant lodged a claim under the Redundancy Payments Acts, 1967 to 1977 on the 22^nd March 2012. 

On the 23^rd August 2013 the appellant lodged a claim under the Unfair Dismissals Acts, 1977 to 2007.  On the day of this case the appellant said that he had already received a statutory redundancy payment and was informed by the Tribunal that he could not be awarded any further redundancy payment.  He was also advised that if he was to lodge a claim for unfair dismissals, at this stage, it would be out of time.

Determination:        

Accordingly the Tribunal has no jurisdiction to hear the claim under the Redundancy Payments Acts, 1967 to 2007.
