The Court of Appeal upheld the High Court's decision to quash the Circuit Court's ruling, which had vacated the Workplace Relations Commission's (WRC) decision in favor of the respondents, who alleged discrimination based on homelessness and membership in the Traveller community. The High Court had found the Circuit Court hearing to be unfair due to excessive judicial interventions, and the matter was ordered to be reheard by a different judge. The Court of Appeal dismissed the appellant's challenge to the availability of judicial review where a statutory appeal was provided, affirming that the High Court correctly applied the principles for such proceedings and that the respondents were justified in pursuing judicial review due to the specific circumstances of the case.
