Workplace Relations Commission Adjudication Officer: Niamh O'Carroll
Procedure:
In accordance with Section 8 of the Unfair Dismissals Acts, 1977 - 2015, and following the referral of the complaints to me by the Director General, I inquired into the complaints and gave the parties an opportunity to be heard by me and to present to me any evidence relevant to the complaints
Background:
The Complainant did not appear to prosecute the complaints. |
Summary of Complainant’s Case:
There was no appearance for or on behalf of the Complainant. |
Summary of Respondent’s Case:
The Respondent made an application to dismiss the claim CA 00073687-001 for want of prosecution. |
Findings and Conclusions:
There was no appearance for or on behalf of the Complainant for today’s remote hearing. Having examined the case file I have satisfied that the complainant was on notice of the date, time and venue for the hearing. I am further satisfied that the Complainant was furnished with the hearing link. Attempts were made to contact the Complainant on the mobile number provided by him however those attempts were unsuccessful. Accordingly, I find that the complaint is not well founded and accordingly fails. |
Decision:
Section 8 of the Unfair Dismissals Acts, 1977 – 2015 requires that I make a decision in relation to the unfair dismissal claim consisting of a grant of redress in accordance with section 7 of the 1977 Act.
The complaint fails. |
