WRC dismisses two discrimination complaints against adjudication officer

The Workplace Relations Commission dismissed two complaints by Roberto Alamazani against adjudication officer Michael McEntee, finding it had no jurisdiction to investigate them. In a decision dated 27 September 2021, the WRC said McEntee was performing adjudicative functions covered by judicial immunity, and that those functions were not a public service under the Equal Status Act. Alamazani had alleged racial discrimination in McEntee’s handling of two earlier complaints. The merits of those allegations were not decided.
