SUBJECT

Appeal of Adjudication Officer Decision No's: ADJ-00014741 (CA-00018936-003)

BACKGROUND

The Worker appealed the Decision of the Adjudication Officer to the Labour Court on 11 February 2020. A Labour Court hearing took place on 16 November 2023.  The following is the Court's Decision:

DECISION

This matter comes before the Court as an appeal by Annalynn Ordonia (the Appellant) of a decision of an Adjudication Officer given under the Employment Equality Act, 1998 (the Act) in a complaint made against Noonan Services Group Ltd (the Respondent).

The Appellant did not attend the hearing of the Court. She did not seek a postponement or any change to the arrangements made to hear the appeal. She did not provide the Court with a written submission in advance of the hearing or at all.

The Respondent submitted that the appeal should be dismissed on the basis that the Appellant was not present to move her appeal.

The Court concludes that, the Appellant not being present to move or advance her appeal, the within complaint of a breach of the Act has not been made out.

Decision

The Court decides that the within appeal must fail and the decision of the Adjudication Officer is affirmed.
The Court so decides.

Signed on behalf of the Labour Court

NOTE

Enquiries concerning this Decision should be in writing  and addressed to Therese Hickey, Court Secretary.
