The Workplace Relations Commission dismissed Joe Butler’s disability discrimination complaint after he missed the hearing. The decision, dated 2 March 2023, says the respondent had not engaged in prohibited conduct; the merits were not decided. Butler alleged discrimination at Dennehy Commercials’ premises over his exemption from wearing a face mask. He sought a late postponement because a relative was seriously ill, but the request was refused without supporting documentation. The respondent attended and was ready to present its case.
