Two unfair dismissal complaints against Mediahuis Irl failed after Muhammad Faisal Qayyum did not attend the hearing or give evidence. The Workplace Relations Commission, in a decision dated 7 August 2026, said the complaints had not been made out. The merits were not decided. Qayyum had alleged that his dismissal was substantively and procedurally unfair. On the morning of the hearing, his representative sought an adjournment without giving an explanation. The adjudicator refused the request because Mediahuis Irl was present and ready to proceed. No award was recorded.
