In 1989, the Labour Court recommended that J.R. Murphy And Sons Limited pay a barman two weeks’ salary to settle his unfair-dismissal claim. The recommendation was signed on 7 November 1989. The worker said he understood the job was permanent and believed his work was satisfactory. The company maintained he had been hired on a six-week trial and was not suited to its premises. The Court cited contradictory submissions, particularly about whether the job was probationary.
