Background

The respondent operates a restaurant called "Admiral". Neither the respondent nor its representative attended the hearing, which concerned an ethnic Russian with Latvian nationality, who claimed discrimination on grounds of race and sex. The race claimed were dismissed but, in the absence of any evidence to the contrary, her claims that her hours were cut and employment later terminated due to her pregnancy were accepted by the EO. The complainant was awarded over €14k compensation.
