High Court quashes the Circuit Court's decision which had vacated an Adjudication Officer's order for compensation to a family denied hotel accommodation. The High Court found the Circuit Court hearing to be unfair due to excessive judicial intervention, necessitating a fresh hearing before a different judge. The original case involved allegations of discrimination against the family, both as recipients of Homeless Assistance Payment and as members of the Traveller community, which the Workplace Relations Commission had upheld.
