Labour Court dismisses Michelle O’Connor’s constructive dismissal appeal

The Labour Court dismissed Michelle O’Connor’s appeal against the finding that her constructive dismissal claim was not well founded. The determination was signed on 6 October 2017. O’Connor said family circumstances and Noonan Services Group Limited’s incorrect completion of a Carer’s Benefit form prompted her resignation. The Court found that neither personal or family circumstances nor a clerical error was sufficient to establish constructive dismissal. It also found no evidence she had raised those matters with the company before resigning. A separate appeal under the Redundancy Payments Act was withdrawn at the hearing.
