New workplace disputes procedures tested in High Court challenge for unfair dismissal

File picture.

A High Court judge has rejected a challenge by a man who alleges he was unfairly dismissed from his job. The case is a test case relating to the constitutionality of new procedures for determining workplace disputes.

The case of Tomasz Zalewski is probably as good a "test case" as any concerning the constitutional validity of procedures under Part V of the Workplace Relations Act 2015, Mr Justice Garrett Simons observed.
