WRC rejects Equal Status complaint against Courts Service after complainant misses hearing

The Workplace Relations Commission found Adrian Caulfield’s complaint against The Courts Service of Ireland not well-founded in a decision dated 4 June 2025, after he did not attend the hearing. Caulfield had alleged discrimination on eight grounds and failure to provide reasonable accommodation for a disability in goods and services. The Courts Service denied the allegations. The adjudication officer said reasonable efforts had been made to notify Caulfield, and no explanation for his absence was received.
