Devendrasingh ‘Ryan’ Boodhun won €8,000 after the Workplace Relations Commission found his dismissal over service-charge allegations procedurally unfair, reported on 19 June 2025. The case concerned the Schoolhouse Hotel in Dublin 4.

The adjudicator also found that the business acted reasonably in ending his employment. The decision cited additional matters raised for the first time at the disciplinary meeting and significant overlap among staff responsible for different investigation stages.

The award was made under the Unfair Dismissals Act 1977. The reports describe allegations about adding service charges to customers’ bills; they do not establish that Boodhun committed an offence.
