A flaw exposed

The High Court ruling that denies a Pakistani chef, who was “the victim of the most appalling exploitation by his employer” an award of €92,000 demands an early response from our legislators.

Mr Younis, a father of nine, was denied the award because his employment contract, through no fault of his, was substantively illegal.

It is entirely appropriate that Mr Justice Gerard Hogan will send a copy of his judgment to the Oireachtas so the loophole might be reviewed.
