The Labour Court found that L.S. Catering Limited had not contravened section 3(4) of the Employment Equality Act, 1977, and that a worker’s complaint was not well founded. The decision was dated 1 November 1993. The worker alleged she was let go because of her pregnancy after the company refused to consider alternative positions or lighter duties. The company denied a pregnancy-related dismissal and said she could return with a medical fitness certificate. The Court recommended that she provide the certificate and accept the offer of reinstatement.
