The Labour Court rejected a worker’s appeal and upheld the Rights Commissioner’s recommendation on a travel-expense claim against the Southern Health Board. The Court signed its decision on 23 September 2002. The Services Industrial Professional Technical Union argued that the worker qualified for an allowance under the Castlerea Formula after being transferred from Our Lady’s Hospital to St Stephen’s Hospital. The Board said the formula did not cover the period claimed and that the worker did not qualify under its terms. The Court said the formula could not be extended to the worker’s circumstances and rejected the appeal.
