The Labour Court allowed Dublin Dun Laoghaire Education and Training Board’s appeal and set aside the €43,425 award to Leonard Skelly. In its determination dated 12 June 2023, the Court found his complaint was not well founded because he had not contacted the National Consumer Agency; the merits were not decided. Skelly had complained of penalisation under the Consumer Protection Act 2007. The Adjudication Officer had found the complaint well founded, directed the Board to give full consideration to his future teaching applications and awarded compensation. Skelly confirmed to the Court that he had not communicated with the Agency, a condition for protection under the Act.
