Property agency ordered to pay ex-employee €182,700

REPRESENTATIVES of an overseas property agency who failed to turn up at an Employment Appeals Tribunal have been ordered to pay €182,700 to a former employee.

The EAT ruled that Shanghai Vision, a Dublin-based company offering properties in Shanghai to Irish investors, had constructively dismissed Seamus Keating.

The tribunal said it had no option but to award Mr Keating of Prospect Meadows, Stocking Lane, Rathfarnham, Co Dublin a sum of €176,250 in compensation for his loss.
