Ammi Burke’s unfair dismissal claim against Arthur Cox was dismissed by the Workplace Relations Commission at a hearing on 1 April 2022.

The claim concerned her dismissal by the law firm in 2019. The WRC ended the hearing after Burke’s requests for witnesses were refused and proceedings repeatedly stalled amid interruptions. The adjudicator reserved his position on her request for emails.

On 30 April 2024, the Court of Appeal dismissed Burke’s appeal against the High Court’s decision to dismiss her challenge to the WRC process. The court upheld the High Court’s decision to end her case mid-hearing.
