Adrian Taranu won compensation from the Workplace Relations Commission over working time breaches, with the proceedings reported on 15 June 2024.

Adjudicating officer Jim Dolan rejected the Indian Embassy’s immunity claim, finding Taranu’s duties did not involve exercising public powers.

The WRC upheld complaints about inadequate rest and awarded £212 for the missed weekly rest period beginning 17 October 2022.

It also issued a compliance direction requiring future adherence to statutory daily breaks, while total compensation exceeded £1,000.

The embassy denied Taranu’s allegations and argued that diplomatic immunity prevented the claims, but did not attend the hearing.
