Claimant v Royal Borough of Greenwich

22 December 2025Before Employment Judge TuejeLondon South

Outcome

Claimant fails

Individual claims

Direct Discrimination(race)failed

The tribunal heard evidence over five days and found the complaint of direct race discrimination was not well-founded. Reasons were given orally at the hearing explaining why the claimant did not establish less favourable treatment because of race.

Harassment(sex)failed

The tribunal found the complaint of harassment related to sex was not well-founded. After hearing all evidence, the tribunal concluded the claimant did not establish unwanted conduct related to sex that violated her dignity or created an intimidating, hostile, degrading, humiliating or offensive environment.

Victimisationfailed

The tribunal dismissed the victimisation complaint, finding it was not well-founded. The claimant did not establish that she was subjected to a detriment because she did a protected act or that the respondent believed she had done or might do a protected act.

Facts

The claimant, Amara Agili-Odion, brought claims against her employer, the Royal Borough of Greenwich, alleging direct race discrimination, harassment related to sex, and victimisation. The case was heard over five days in December 2025, with the claimant representing herself and the respondent represented by counsel. The tribunal heard evidence from both parties regarding the allegations.

Decision

The tribunal dismissed all three complaints, finding them not well-founded. The tribunal gave detailed oral reasons at the hearing explaining why the claimant had not established her claims of race discrimination, sex harassment, or victimisation on the evidence presented.

Practical note

A self-represented claimant bringing multiple discrimination claims against a local authority failed to establish any of her allegations despite a full five-day merits hearing.
