The Workplace Relations Commission found Derek Rossel’s unfair dismissal complaint not well founded after he did not attend the hearing; the merits were not decided. The decision was dated 21 February 2023. Rossel sought an adjournment on the morning of the hearing, saying he was working in Saudi Arabia and could not attend in person. The adjudication officer concluded he had almost seven weeks’ notice and could have requested a remote or hybrid hearing, and refused the adjournment.
