Barry Osborne complaint against Lighthouse Media and Rebeka Kahn Artwear fails after hearing absence

The WRC found Barry Osborne’s complaint about not receiving updated written terms of employment was not well founded after he failed to attend the hearing; the adjudication officer said the complaint must fail. The decision was dated 9 June 2023, and the merits were not decided. Osborne alleged that Lighthouse Media Ltd. and Rebeka Kahn Artwear had failed to provide updated terms of employment in writing. The respondent attended the hearing, submitted a full defence and was prepared to present evidence. The officer found that notice had been sent by email to the address Osborne provided and that he had consented to email communication.
