    District Court
    Case number
    DCEO7/2019

    Claim dismissed: court found on balance that termination on 23 December 2016 resulted solely from a bona fide redundancy following an integration with Alcon in 2016; claimant's poor performance and contemporaneous performance review preceded employer's knowledge of his medical condition; claimant was not a credible witness and respondent offered a non-discriminatory explanation, therefore no breach of DDO s.6 or s.11 was established.
