The Hearing of the Court

The written submission of the Respondent to the Court included a written statement of the Complainant’s terms of employment which had been given to him by the Respondent.

The parties submitted that it was common case, on foot of this document, that no breach of the Act at Section 3 had occurred during the cognisable period for the within complaint which was made to the Workplace Relations Commission on 4th September 2019.

Decision

The Court decides that within complaint must fail. The Appeal succeeds and the decision of the Adjudication Officer is set aside.
The Court so decides.
