The applicant, a Registered Nurse, alleged discrimination in employment on the basis of race, colour, and ethnic origin.

The Tribunal held a summary hearing to determine if the application had a reasonable prospect of success.

The applicant alleged unfair treatment, including reprimands and a dispute over sick leave, but conceded there were no comments related to her race or colour.

The Tribunal found that the applicant had no evidence to connect the alleged unfair treatment to a Code-protected ground, and dismissed the application as having no reasonable prospect of success.

The applicant union brought an application under sections 1(4) and 69 of the Labour Relations Act, 1995.

The parties reached a settlement wherein the applicant assumed the exclusive bargaining rights of the responding union with respect to the respondent employer's employees, and the seniority lists were merged.

The Board issued orders to give effect to the Minutes of Settlement and the application was withdrawn with leave.
