Facts
Miss Stubbs brought multiple claims against North London NHS Foundation Trust under four case numbers. The claims included whistleblowing detriment, race and disability discrimination (both direct discrimination and harassment), failure to make reasonable adjustments, victimisation, and detriment for making a flexible working request. The case was heard over 17 days via video link.
Decision
The tribunal unanimously dismissed all of Miss Stubbs' claims, finding none of them to be well-founded. After hearing evidence over 17 days, the tribunal concluded that the respondent had not subjected the claimant to detriment for protected disclosures, had not discriminated against her on grounds of race or disability, had not failed to make reasonable adjustments, had not harassed or victimised her, and had not subjected her to detriment for making a flexible working request.
Practical note
A self-represented claimant bringing multiple complex claims including whistleblowing, discrimination, and harassment against an NHS Trust was unsuccessful on all grounds after a lengthy 17-day hearing.
