In accordance with Section 79 of the Employment Equality Acts, 1998 - 2015, following the referral of the complaint to me by the Director General, I inquired into the complaint and gave the parties an opportunity to be heard by me and to present to me any evidence relevant to the complaint.

The Complainant did not attend the hearing. |
Summary of Respondent’s Case:
The Respondent did not attend the hearing. |
Findings and Conclusions:
As part of my investigation under Section 79 of the Acts, I am obliged to hold a hearing. I am satisfied that the complainant was on notice of the hearing arrangements. I find that the complainant’s failure to attend the hearing was unreasonable in the circumstances and that any obligation under Section 79 has ceased. The complainant has an obligation to adduce evidence in support of her complaint at the hearing. Based on the within circumstances, I conclude the investigation and find against the complainant.

Decision:
Section 79 of the Employment Equality Acts, 1998 – 2015 requires that I make a decision in relation to the complaint in accordance with the relevant redress provisions under section 82 of the Act.
Based on the circumstances outlined above and in the absence of any evidence having been adduced before me, I conclude the investigation and find against the complainant. |
