The Labour Court rejected Martin Wright's unfair-dismissal appeal against Machale Plant Hire Limited in a determination dated 22 February 2017, affirming the adjudication officer's finding that no dismissal took place. Wright said he understood a site manager's words to mean he had been dismissed. The Court preferred the account of the company's contracts manager, supported by its managing director, that Wright had been asked to report to the head office and was told he was not being fired. The determination also notes a separate minimum-notice appeal, without stating its outcome. The €5,400 Wright said a company representative offered in lieu of notice was not an award in this determination.
