Labour Court declines jurisdiction over John Larkin appeal

The Labour Court declined jurisdiction over John Larkin’s appeal concerning his transfer-of-undertakings claim against Starrus Eco Holdings T/A Wastepal Ltd. The determination was dated 28 September 2016; the merits of the appeal were not decided. The Adjudication Officer had found the claim not well founded. The Labour Court said the appeal notice named “Greenstar” as the respondent, rather than the respondent identified in the first-instance decision or a registered legal entity, and that it could not amend the proceedings to substitute a different legal person.
