A: Written determinations of the Tribunal are final and conclusive,  subject only to the appropriate avenue of legal appeal. While the Tribunal has limited powers to correct or amend certain technical inaccuracies (see for example Section 39 of the Organisation of Working Time Act, 1997), it is not the policy of the Tribunal to revisit matters of evidence or reconsider its deliberations once a written determination has issued.   

A: A determination of the Tribunal is recorded in a document signed by the Chairman and sealed with the seal of the Tribunal.  Determinations of the Tribunal are entered in a register, which is open to inspection by any person without charge during normal hours at the offices of the Secretariat of the Tribunal.

A. A determination of the Tribunal on any question referred to it under the Redundancy Payments Acts, the Minimum Notice and Terms of Employment Acts or the Protection of Employees (Employers’ Insolvency) Acts may be appealed by a dissatisfied party to the High Court on a point of law.  

A decision of the Tribunal given on appeal from a Rights Commissioner under the Payment of Wages Act, the Terms of Employment (Information) Act, the Protection of Young Persons (Employment) Act, the Parental Leave Act, the Maternity Protection Act, the Protections for Persons reporting Child Abuse Act,  the Adoptive Leave Act or the Carer’s Leave Act may also be appealed, on a point of law, to the High Court. 

 A determination of the Tribunal under the Unfair Dismissals Acts may be appealed to the Circuit Court by a party within six weeks from the date of service of the determination.

Under the Organisation of Working Time Act,  parties who receive determinations which are not favourable to them and who wish to appeal, should refer to the appeals procedures applicable to the Act with which the Holiday/Public Holiday complaint was associated.
