The Labour Court recommended £500 compensation for a worker dismissed without an opportunity to state his case. Its recommendation, dated 11 June 1993, followed a dispute with Distribution Services Teoranta. The worker said he was attacked by a colleague at work and was later dismissed. The company told the Court it would not attend the hearing. The Court relied on the worker’s uncontested account and said his short period of service did not remove the company’s obligation to treat him fairly.
