DETERMINATION:
This is an appeal by Mr Krystion Szmul (the Appellant) against Equality Officer Decision No: DEC-E2013-076 delivered on 23rd July 2013. The appeal was submitted to the Court on 29th August 2013. The case came on for hearing on 14th January 2014.
When the case was called the Complainant was neither present nor represented in Court.
In the absence of any evidence in support of the appeal the Court finds that the Complainant has failed to make out a case of discrimmination under the Act. Accordingly the Court determines that the Complaint is not well founded. The Decision of the Equality Officer is affirmed.
The Court so determines.
