Workplace Relations Commission Adjudication Officer: David Mullis
Procedure:
In accordance with Section 41 of the Workplace Relations Act, 2015 andfollowing the referral of the complaints to me by the Director General, I gave the parties an opportunity to be heard by me and to present to me any evidence relevant to the complaints.
Background:
The Complainant entered 2 complaints with the WRC but did not appear on the day of the hearing. |
Summary of Complainant’s Case:
The Complainant did not appear and so evidence to support his complaints were not presented. |
Summary of Respondent’s Case:
The Respondent did appear and he wished to rebut the claims made, to the WRC on his claim form. He wished to go on and present his counter arguments, but I ruled that because the Complainant was not present that this was not necessary. |
Findings and Conclusions:
I find that the parties were duly informed of the date, time and venue of the hearing. The Complainant did not appear to prosecute his case. |
Decision:
Section 41 of the Workplace Relations Act 2015 requires that I make a decision in relation to the complaints in accordance with the relevant redress provisions under Schedule 6 of that Act.
Because the Complainant failed to appear and present evidence in support of his claims, I find that the complaints fail for want of prosecution. |
