The Labour Court struck out Antanas Varaksas’s race discrimination appeal after he did not attend the hearing. The appeal concerned alleged discrimination over pay and dismissal by his former employer, MKBS Ltd (In Liquidation). The Court’s determination was dated 6 December 2011. The Equality Tribunal had found against Varaksas on all counts. Before the hearing, the Court was told his solicitors had come off record and was satisfied he had been informed of the sitting. The Labour Court said the appeal was struck out for want of prosecution. Varaksas did not attend; the merits were not decided.
