Workplace Relations Commission Adjudication Officer: Maire Mulcahy
Procedure:
In accordance with Section 8 of the Unfair Dismissals Acts, 1977 - 2015, following the referral of the complaint 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.
On 26/9/2023, I conducted a remote hearing in accordance with the Civil Law and Criminal Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2020 and Statutory Instrument 359/2020 which designates the Workplace Relations Commission as a body empowered to hold remote hearings.
The complainant did not attend the hearing.
The respondent MD attended the hearing.
Background:
The complainant submitted a complaint on 11/7/2023 that the respondent had contravened the provisions of the Unfair Dismissals Acts, 1977 - 2015 in relation to him.

Summary of Complainant’s Case:
The complainant did not attend the hearing. |
Summary of Respondent’s Case:
The respondent attended the hearing. |
Findings and Conclusions:
A complaint was received by the Director General of the Workplace Relations commission from the complainant on 11/7/2023 alleging that the respondent had contravened the provisions of the Unfair Dismissals Acts, 1977 - 2015 in relation to him. A hearing for that purpose was held on 26/9/2023. There was no appearance by the complainant at the hearing or explanation for his absence. The complainant failed to return calls to the WRC to confirm his attendance. I am satisfied that the said complainant was informed in writing of the date, time and place at which the hearing to investigate the complaint would be held. In these circumstances and in the absence of any evidence to the contrary having been adduced before me, I must conclude that the within complaint is not well-founded and I decide accordingly |
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.
I do not find this complaint to be well founded. |
