In 1991, the Labour Court reduced compensation from £2,000 to £400 after appeals over a job with Peter Martin International that did not materialise. The Court dated its decision 30 September 1991.

The worker left her job at Media 2000 to take up the position after an offer from her supervisor, Alice Wilson. The start date was repeatedly postponed, and the worker was left without the promised job. Wilson argued that she was not an employer and that Peter Martin International had decided against opening a Dublin outlet. The Court upheld the Rights Commissioner’s conclusions but varied the compensation.
