WRC dismisses part-time work complaint after claimant misses hearing

By Tadhg O'Sullivan

Historic decision · Decision date:

Place: no local area assigned from the source.

A Workplace Relations Commission adjudication officer found Cinthia Mendes Da Silva’s complaint against Gotham Cafe Limited not well founded, after she did not attend the hearing or give evidence. The decision was dated 15 June 2026. The complaint alleged a breach of the Protection of Employees (Part-Time Work) Act 2001. The officer said notice had been verified, waited for a late arrival and tried to contact Mendes Da Silva by phone. Gotham Cafe attended with a written defence. The decision ended the case because she did not advance it; it did not determine the underlying allegation on its merits. No award was recorded.
