David Aranda Petit Delice Limited v Jessica Padayachee – EDA2219 is a recent Labour Court appeal of a decision of the Workplace Relations Commission (“WRC”). The Complainant, Ms Padayachee, submitted complaints of discrimination on grounds of race, gender and family status to the WRC under the Employment Equality Acts, 1998-2015 (the “Acts”). The Complainant is a South African national and argued that the Respondent refused to sign her Work Permit application because she was pregnant. This was denied by the Respondent. The original WRC decision upheld the complaints in relation to gender and family status. The Respondent Employer was ordered to pay the Complainant €33,600 in compensation and appealed the decision to the Labour Court (the “Court”).
