Workplace Relations Commission Adjudication Officer: Catherine Byrne
Procedure:
In accordance with Section 25 of the Equal Status Act, 2000, this complaint was assigned to me by the Director General. A hearing was arranged for January 16th 2019, to give the parties an opportunity to be heard and to present evidence relevant to the complaint. The complainant did not attend, although he was properly on notice of the hearing. Mr Peter Flood attended for the respondent and he was accompanied by two of the company’s management team.
Decision:
Section 25 of the Equal Status Acts, 2000 – 2015 requires that I make a decision in relation to the complaint in accordance with the relevant redress provisions under section 27 of that Act.
In the circumstances where the complainant did not attend the hearing, and in the absence of any evidence to the contrary having been adduced before me, I must conclude that this complaint is not well-founded and I decide accordingly. |
