WRC dismisses Liam Hogan’s discrimination complaint against Aviva

The Workplace Relations Commission dismissed Liam Hogan’s Equal Status complaint against Aviva Insurance Ireland DAC, which alleged discrimination in the handling of an insurance claim after two fires at his home. Hogan alleged discrimination on several grounds and said Aviva did not issue a formal refusal of his claim. Aviva said it needed documents to investigate the fires and that Hogan’s refusal to provide them obstructed its investigation. The adjudicator found the complaint did not disclose a discrimination claim and dismissed it as frivolous and vexatious under section 22 of the Equal Status Act. The decision was dated 12 June 2026.
