Hearing Or Decision
Summary
In a decision issued by the Workplace Relations Commission, Dr Paul Coughlan, a cosmetic doctor and co‑founder of CPD Ventures Ltd (trading as Yung Medical Aesthetics), was awarded €86,608 in unpaid wages and a €5,000 damages payment for discrimination. The commission found that Coughlan had been removed as a company director and denied commission payments that he was entitled to under a December 2023 founder agreement, which stipulated a 30% share of revenue from procedures he performed. He had received only €30,600 before June 2024, leaving €86,608 outstanding. Coughlan also claimed constructive dismissal after the company threatened legal action over his Instagram account. The tribunal noted that the company was in liquidation when the case was heard and that no evidence was presented by the liquidator.
