The Labour Court found that Club Atlantic (Westport) Limited unfairly dismissed a worker but rejected her pregnancy discrimination claim. The order was dated 23 December 1997. The worker said she was told to leave because cleaning work was too hard after her pregnancy was disclosed. The company said it had already intended to dismiss her over concerns about her work and believed she was resigning. The Court found that the way the dismissal was carried out fell short of what a reasonable employer would be expected to do. It also found that she was not dismissed because of her pregnancy.
