Labour Court upholds decision rejecting Claire Curran’s redundancy claim against Ajpc Retail Ltd T/A Costcutter (In Liquidation)

The Labour Court upheld the decision rejecting Claire Curran’s statutory redundancy claim against Ajpc Retail Ltd T/A Costcutter (In Liquidation). The decision was signed on 7 March 2025. Curran said her employment with the former operator ended in January 2023 and sought statutory redundancy pay. The company argued that her employment had not ended and another operator took over the lease. The Court found Curran remained employed when the lease was reassigned and continued in the same job with the new operator. It concluded her employment had not ended by reason of redundancy, so the respondent was not liable to pay statutory redundancy.
