WRC declines jurisdiction over guide-dog access complaint

The Workplace Relations Commission decided it had no jurisdiction to hear Nadine Lattimore’s complaint alleging that store staff barred her guide dog and failed to provide reasonable accommodation. The decision was dated 4 March 2026. The adjudicator refused her request to amend the respondent’s name to Mr Cuisine Ltd., finding that the complaint had been sent to an incorrectly named entity and the correct respondent had not been served. The decision did not determine the discrimination allegations, and no award was recorded.
