Senior exec resolves action against employer over alleged demand to stop working from home

Summary

Brian Fitzpatrick, a senior executive at Bocomm Aviation Leasing Ireland, settled a High Court dispute with his employer over a claim that the company demanded he stop working from home and instead work from its Dublin office several days a week. Fitzpatrick, who had been working remotely from his home in Danganbrack, Quin, Co Clare for years, said the company had never objected to this arrangement before the alleged demand. He also alleged that the company wrongfully refused to pay him his six‑figure annual bonus. Fitzpatrick sought an injunction to prevent the employer from imposing sanctions, to halt a purported investigation, and to stop interference with his employment terms, as well as an order for full payment of salary and benefits. The case, first heard in February, was adjourned repeatedly for settlement talks.
