Ireland—Fixed-term employees

Ireland—Fixed-term employees Fixed-term employees are those whose employment is agreed to end on a particular date in the future or upon the occurrence of a specific event. They differ from employees who have contracts of indefinite duration whose employment will continue until terminated either by the employer or by the employee. This Practice Note provides an overview of the rules applicable to fixed-term employees in Ireland and the essential aspects of fixed-term employment for practitioners to understand. Background legislation Similar to much of the employment law in Ireland, the legislation which gives rise to the bulk of protection of fixed-term employees is grounded in EU law. Council Directive 1999/70/EC of 28 June 1999 concerning the framework agreement on fixed-term work concluded by ETUC, UNICE and CEEP (the Fixed-Term Work Directive) was implemented into Irish law under the Protection of Employees (Fixed-Term Work) Act 2003 (Ireland) (PE(FTW)A 2003 (IRL)).

Ireland—Judicial review—making an application This Practice Note outlines the general procedure in the High Court in an application for judicial review. It considers who can make an application for judicial review, time limits for bringing a judicial review claim and the procedure for seeking leave to make an application for judicial review.

Who can make an application for judicial review? Order 84, Rule 20(5) RSC provides that the court shall not grant leave for judicial review unless it considers that the applicant has a ‘sufficient interest’ in the matter to which the application relates. Historically, the courts took a strict view...
