I certify that the Tribunal
(Division of Tribunal)
Chairman: Ms O. Madden B.L.
Members: Mr. N. Ormond
Mr. J. Flannery
heard this appeal at Dublin on 3rd July 2015
Representation:
Appellant: Mr. Hugh Hegarty, Siptu, Liberty Hall, Dublin 1
Respondent: Mr. Tim O'Connell, Ibec, Confederation House, 84/86 Lower Baggot Street, Dublin 2
Determination:
The Tribunal cannot hear the appeal in circumstances where Section 7 (2) (b) of the Payment of Wages Act, 1991 has not been complied with. Section 7 (2) (b) provides:
“An appeal under this section shall be initiated by a party by his giving, within 6 weeks of the date on which the decision to which it relates was communicated to him-
(a) a notice in writing to the Tribunal containing such particulars (if any) as may be specified in regulations under subsection (3) and stating the intention of the party concerned to appeal against the decision, and
(b) a copy of the notice to the other party concerned.”
The Tribunal is satisfied that S.7 (2) (b) above has not been complied with and accordingly the Tribunal in this case has no jurisdiction to hear the appeal of the Rights Commissioner Decision ref: r-140202-pw-13/RG, under the Payment of Wages Act, 1991.
Sealed with the Seal of the
