Place: no local area assigned from the source.

The WRC upheld Barry Matthews’s unfair dismissal complaint against Tesco Ireland Limited and awarded him €7,500. It found Tesco had not shown his dismissal was procedurally fair, citing inadequate notice of initial meetings and his inability to challenge the car park security team’s evidence. The adjudicator also found Matthews significantly contributed to the circumstances leading to his dismissal. A minimum notice complaint was not well founded, and a separate complaint was withdrawn.
