WRC dismisses Alamazani complaint over adjudicator's conduct

The Workplace Relations Commission dismissed Roberto Alamazani's Equal Status complaint against the WRC, finding it misconceived and that it had no jurisdiction to hear the complaint. The decision was dated 17 September 2021; the merits were not decided. Alamazani alleged bullying, harassment and unfair treatment because of his race during an earlier hearing. The officer found that adjudication was a statutory function, not a service covered by the Equal Status Act, and that judicial immunity applied. The decision said alleged defects in the process could be challenged through judicial review.
