Unfortunately, the Employer chose not to attend. Accordingly, the claim by the Worker that he was dismissed unfairly was not contested.

Based on the information provided to the Court by the Worker, his losses as a result of his dismissal are calculated at €6132.

The Court recommends that the Employer pay this amount to the Worker in compensation for his unfair dismissal.
