Ammi Burke returns to High Court for hearing on claim of unfair dismissal from law firm

She was summarily dismissed at a meeting with the managing partner, of which she was not given notice or told the reason for, she claimed.

Ms Burke secured leave last July for judicial review of the April 1st 2022 decision by adjudication officer , Kevin Baneham, rejecting her complaint. The proceedings are against the WRC, with Arthur Cox as a notice party. There was scope for more evidence but the hearing on April 1st was interrupted by Ms Burke and her mother after they objected to his ruling refusing Ms Burke’s request to summon two witnesses, a partner and a human resources director with the law firm, to give evidence. He also declined her request to order the firm to discover certain emails concerning the late-night working matter.

The managing partner, as the person who decided to dismiss Ms Burke, had the right to give evidence and to swear an oath/affirm prior to doing so, he said. Prior to April 1st 2022, Mr Baneham also rejected an application by Ms Burke to recuse himself from dealing with the case.
