The Workplace Relations Commission found Eileen Dobson’s disability-discrimination complaint against Campbells Butchers Limited not well-founded after she did not attend the hearing; the merits were not decided. The decision was dated 10 June 2022.

Dobson alleged discrimination over her failure to wear a mask at the butcher’s premises. The WRC said she had received written notice of the remote hearing and had been sent a link, but did not join. Campbells Butchers Limited said it had treated her equally and fairly.
