Labour Court finds Thomas McEvoy’s dismissal by Gestetner was not unfair

In 1987, the Labour Court found that Thomas McEvoy’s dismissal by Gestetner Limited was not unfair and did not recommend compensation. The recommendation was signed on 11 August 1987. McEvoy said his temporary employment had been extended repeatedly, he had received no complaints about his work and obtaining a driving licence was not a condition of continued employment. Gestetner cited the temporary nature of the job, his performance, his failure to obtain a licence and what it described as a lack of commitment. The company declined to attend the hearing.
