Workplace Relations Commission Adjudication Officer: Niamh O'Carroll Kelly
Procedure:
In accordance with Section 25 of the Equal Status Act, 2000, following the referral of the complainant to me by the Director General, I inquired into the complaint and gave the parties an opportunity to be heard by me and to present to me any evidence relevant to the complaint.
Background:
|
Summary of Complainant’s Case:
There was no appearance for or on behalf of the Complainant. |
Summary of Respondent’s Case:
The case should be dismissed for want of prosecution. |
Findings and Conclusions:
Having perused the case file I am satisfied that the Complainant was on notice of the date and time of the remote hearing and had been sent the hearing link. Notice was sent by post on the 27.10.2021 and again by email on the 28.10.2021. Additional time was given to the complainant to allow for any technical difficulties he may have been experiencing. The case was due to start at 10.30. By 10.45 the Complainant had not appeared and was not responding to calls made to him by the case officer. In those circumstances I find that the case is not well founded and accordingly fails. |
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.
CA 39505-001 The complaint fails CA 39567 – 001 The complaint fails. |
