Workplace Relations Commission Adjudication Officer: Catherine Byrne
Procedure:
In accordance with Section 8 of the Unfair Dismissals Acts, 1977 - 2015, this complaint was assigned to me by the Director General. A hearing was arranged for October 18th 2018; however, the complainant did not attend, although she was properly on notice. Mr Tom Mallon attended for the respondent, instructed by O’Shea Barry Solicitors. The respondent company is in liquidation and two executives from the company overseeing the liquidation also attended.
Decision:
Section 8 of the Unfair Dismissals Acts, 1977 – 2015 requires that I make a decision in relation to the unfair dismissal claim consisting of a grant of redress in accordance with section 7 of the 1977 Act.
As the complainant failed to attend the hearing to establish the validity of her complaint, I conclude the investigation and find against her. |
