Lawyers acting for a senior sales executive in the gambling industry have threatened to pull out of a case at the Workplace Relations Commission claiming their client faces being denied a fair hearing.
Defence evidence was interrupted yesterday when the executive’s barrister objected to questions pertaining to the level of management control over his work being put to a chief executive officer, as he said these had not been raised with his client in cross-examination.
Conall McSorley, a 30-year veteran of the gambling industry who has accused software firm GBE Technologies Unlimited of unfair dismissal, gave instructions to his legal team that he would not go back into evidence so that the firm could “mend its hand”.
