Holding
The petition is dismissed on the grounds of res judicata and statute bar.
Facts
The Petitioner was dismissed from employment by the Respondent on 23rd February 2024, and a previous claim was dismissed for being time barred. The Petitioner now seeks to raise the same issues in a constitutional petition.
Issues
- Discrimination in remuneration
- Violation of data protection and privacy rights
Reasoning
The court finds that the issues raised in the petition were directly and substantially in issue in the previous claim and are therefore barred by res judicata. The petition is also barred by statute due to the time elapsed since the dismissal of the previous claim.
Outcome
The petition is dismissed.
