The Labour Court recommended that Celestine Cafe Bar T/A Hickey Finns Pub pay a worker €20,000 after finding the dismissal procedurally unfair. Its recommendation was signed on 14 October 2015. The worker, employed as a head chef on a fixed-term contract, was dismissed while on sick leave. The Court found he had no opportunity to present a defence before the dismissal decision and that the process fell short of reasonable-employer fairness.
