The Court of Appeal has upheld the High Court's decision to quash the Circuit Court's ruling, which had previously vacated the Workplace Relations Commission's (WRC) decision in favor of the respondents, members of the Traveller Community, who alleged discrimination by a hotel. The High Court found the Circuit Court hearing to be unfair due to excessive judicial interventions, and the matter has been remitted for a new hearing with a different judge. The appellant's challenge was limited to the preliminary issue of judicial review availability, not contesting the High Court's findings on the fairness of the Circuit Court proceedings.
