AIB dismissed bank official after he failed to disclose €407k mortgage debt

Labour Court finds that the decision by bank to dismiss employee was fair and within the range of reasonable responses of a reasonable employer

The Labour Court ruling upholds an earlier decision by the Workplace Relations Commission, or WRC, to dismiss Mr Fitzpatrick’s unfair dismissal claim. 

AIB dismissed a bank official after he failed to disclose that he was in significant arrears in his mortgage payments and the amount owed totalled around €407,000.

Jason Fitzpatrick had sued AIB for unfair dismissal and now the Labour Court has dismissed Mr Fitzpatrick’s claim.
