A nurse has resolved a High Court action she launched following the purported termination of her employment by the owners and operators of a 144-bed south Dublin nursing home.
The action was brought by Divya Jayarajan, who in early 2023 commenced employment as director of nursing with FFNH Limited, which trades as The Four Ferns Nursing Home, in Foxrock, Co Dublin.
The proceedings were brought late last year when Ms Jayarajan claimed that she had been summarily dismissed from her job at what she described as a luxury and demanding nursing home.
Arising out of her purported dismissal, Ms Jayarajan had sought various orders, including injunctions against the defendant. She had also sought a declaration from the court that she remained employed as the defendant's director of nursing, as well as damages.
The defendants had denied any wrongdoing.
The matter was adjourned on several occasions to allow for out-of-court talks aimed at resolving the dispute.
The matter was listed before Mr Justice Rory Mulcahy on Wednesday morning. However, the dispute is now settled, on confidential terms, and the entire proceedings were struck out.
The court had previously heard that Ms Jayarajan had alleged that her purported termination of her employment had been carried out in the complete absence of any fair procedures and in breach of her contract of employment.
