Fwiw...
As a tendency, Irish labour courts tends to find in favour of employees... but also tend to award relatively small compensation.
A headline making award is pretty rare. Judge must not be a Twitter fan.
- paulddraper 2y agoThe judge is biased by social media?
- nness 2y agoIt wasn't a court case so they're were no judges, per se. The WRC is a state agency who presides over industrial relations.
- ghnws 2y agoMore likely that the offense by twatter was more egregious than what the courts are used to.
- valval 2y agoAh yes, an objective comment by a rational author.
- xeanotods 2y agoIf it's an illegally biased opinion then presumably it will be overturned on appeal. Otherwise Irish law looks prohibitively business-unfriendly.
- freehorse 2y agoThey have to pay compensation based on salary and tenure time. Most likely the salary in this case was higher than an average Irish salary. Moreover firing without warning tends to increase the severance benefits even more, which is also why it is relatively rare.
