The Workplace Relations Commission found Colin McHale’s employment equality complaint was not made out for want of evidence after he failed to attend the hearing. The decision, dated 9 January 2024, says the merits were not decided. McHale alleged disability discrimination, including a failure to provide reasonable accommodation and discriminatory dismissal. His representative sought an adjournment, saying McHale was preparing for High Court personal injury proceedings; the adjudication officer declined the request.
