Facts
Mr Ullah, a self-represented claimant requiring an interpreter, brought multiple discrimination claims against Greencore Food To Go Limited. He also applied to join Job & Talent UK Ltd as a respondent. The respondent contested the claims at a preliminary hearing.
Decision
The tribunal dismissed the claimant's application to join an additional respondent and struck out five discrimination claims (age, disability, sex, sexual orientation, and religion or belief). However, the direct race discrimination claim was allowed to proceed to a full merits hearing.
Practical note
At preliminary hearings, tribunals will dismiss discrimination claims lacking reasonable prospects of success, but will allow arguable claims to proceed even when claimants are unrepresented.
