WRC rejects gym discrimination complaint on jurisdiction grounds

By Rory Hanlon

Historic decision · Decision date:

Place: no local area assigned from the source.

The WRC found it had no jurisdiction over Grace MacLean’s disability discrimination complaint against gym manager Paul Tynan, who was named personally instead of the service provider, Holohan Fitness Unlimited Company. MacLean alleged the gym curtailed an arrangement to reduce music volume, denying her reasonable accommodation. The WRC found the time limit had expired and the company could not be substituted; it did not decide whether discrimination occurred.
