The WRC dismissed Olumide Smith’s Equal Status complaint against the Workplace Relations Commission, finding it had no jurisdiction to hear the case. The decision was dated 2 December 2021. Smith alleged race discrimination and mistreatment during two adjudication hearings, and said the WRC was responsible for the adjudicators’ conduct. The adjudication officer found that adjudication and decision-making were not a service covered by the Equal Status Act, so vicarious liability could not arise against the WRC. The complaint was dismissed as misconceived; the merits were not decided.
