The Labour Court rejected a worker’s appeal over alleged unfair dismissal by Leopardstown Inn and upheld the Rights Commissioner’s recommendation for a more favourable reference and one week’s wages in full settlement. The decision was signed on 23 August 1991. The worker said he was dismissed without a written warning and had not been told his job was in jeopardy. Management said his performance was inconsistent and that it had raised shortcomings with him. The Court considered the recommendation fair and reasonable, noting the company’s undertaking to provide a favourable reference.
