WRC dismisses Samad’s complaints against Allied Irish Banks over account closure

By Donal Gilhooly

Historic decision · Decision date:

Place: no local area assigned from the source.

The WRC dismissed Ayman Abdul Samad’s race discrimination and harassment complaints over the closure of his bank account and his treatment at branches. The adjudication officer found atypical transactions and Samad’s failure to respond to the bank explained the closure, and rejected the discrimination claim. The harassment claim was dismissed for lack of a sufficient link to race; a disability claim was dismissed as misconceived. No award was recorded.
