A founder of an aviation business has won €41,000 in compensation after an unfair-dismissal claim at the WRC. He says he was dismissed while he was on sick leave. Legal papers presented in the case put his total losses at more than €1.2 million. The award is much smaller than the amount he says the dismissal caused. The case concerns his removal from the aviation firm rather than a dispute over the company's commercial performance. The available report does not set out his role or the length of his absence. It also does not explain how the WRC reached its compensation figure.
