This matter comes before the Court as an appeal by Easy Meals Limited (the Appellant) of a decision of an Adjudication Officer made under the Employment Equality Acts, 1998 – 2015 (the Act) in the complaint of Stacey Barrett (the Complainant).

The Adjudication Officer decided that the complaint of the Complainant was well founded.

The Court is satisfied that both parties were properly notified of the date, time and venue for the hearing of the Court.

The Complainant attended the hearing of the Court, and the Appellant did not attend the hearing. The Court delayed the commencement of its hearing on the day, but notwithstanding this accommodation the Appellant did not attend the hearing.

The Appellant not being present to move its appeal, the within appeal failed.

Decision

The Court so decides.
