Place: no local area assigned from the source.

The Labour Court did not recommend that Nortel (Ireland) Limited fund legal costs claimed by the Information and Consultation Forum Nortel (Ireland) Limited. The recommendation was dated 5 March 2010. The forum sought resources to carry out its duties and said the company should meet necessary and reasonable costs, including legal advice. Nortel argued it was not obliged to pay the forum’s legal costs. The Court said the forum had not clearly identified its funding request and did not recommend requiring the company to fund legal advice or representation for industrial relations claims.
