Employment Update: Transdev Ireland Limited v Michael Caplis[1]

In a recent judgment by the High Court, Justice Humphreys refused to grant the appellant, Transdev Ireland Limited (the “Employer”) permission to appeal on a point of law a decision of the Labour Court. The Labour Court held that Michael Caplis (the “Employee”), had been unfairly dismissed by the Employer contrary to the Unfair Dismissals Acts 1977-2015 (the “UD Acts”) and ordered the Employer to reengage the Employee.
