SUBJECT:
Appeal of Adjudication Officer Decision No's: ADJ-00049427 (CA-00060643-004)
BACKGROUND:
The Worker appealed the Decision of the Adjudication Officer to the Labour Court on 12 July 2024 in accordance with Section 44 of the Workplace Relations Act, 2015. A Labour Court hearing took place on 10 February 2026.
The following is the Decision of the Court:
DECISION:
Background to the Appeal
This is an appeal by Mr Singh (the Complainant) against Adjudication Officer’s Decision ADJ-00049427 CA-00060643-003 and 004, given under the Minimum Notice and Terms of Employment Act 1973 (the Act) in a claim against his previous employer Northside Travellers Support Clg (T/A Travact (the Respondent) that he was not paid in lieu of notice. The Adjudication Officer upheld his complaint and awarded compensation of €3,660.46. There are linked cases UD/24/94, PW/24/128 and MN/24/13. The Adjudication Officer treated the two complaints under this Act as one complaint and made an award covering both of them.
On 21 January 2026 the Court received correspondence from a Mr Boland of Grant Thornton informing the Court that he had been appointed as Joint liquidator and confirming that as liquidators they had submitted a claim to the Department of Social Protection in respect of the awards made to the Complainant and the funds received were paid to the Complainant. The letter confirmed that they would not be attending the hearing.
At the commencement of the hearing the Complainant confirmed to the Court that he had received and accepted the payments. The Court informed the Complainant that as he had accepted the awards made by the Adjudication Officer, he could not also proceed to appeal those decisions. On that basis the appeal fails.
The decision of the Adjudication Officer is upheld.
The Court so determines.
