The Labour Court affirmed the rejection of Muhammad Usman Zafar’s unfair dismissal claim against Tesco Ireland, finding that he resigned and was not dismissed. It also found the claim was out of time, with no reasonable cause to extend the statutory limit. In its decision signed on 24 September 2026, the Court found Zafar had resigned with effect from 26 November 2022 after Tesco refused his career-break request. It said Tesco gave him an opportunity to confirm or withdraw the resignation, but he did not respond.
