A Workplace Relations Commission complaint by Peter Byrne alleging disability discrimination against R.T.B Tribunal Section failed after Byrne did not attend the hearing. The WRC decision was dated 23 April 2024. Byrne alleged that decisions about adjournments in a tenancy dispute discriminated against him. The respondent denied discrimination and argued that its tribunal functions fell outside the scope of the Equal Status Act. Because Byrne did not attend, the WRC made no substantive finding on discrimination; the merits were not decided.
