Claimant v Companies House
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal heard evidence over three days and found the complaint of direct race discrimination was not well founded. Written reasons were requested and will follow, but the claim was dismissed in its entirety.
Facts
Ms Ragoo Martin brought a claim of direct race discrimination against her employer, Companies House, a public body. The case was heard over three days in Cardiff. The claimant represented herself while the respondent was represented by counsel. Full written reasons were requested but not included in this judgment document.
Decision
The tribunal found that the complaint of direct race discrimination was not well founded and dismissed the claim in its entirety. The judgment was delivered orally at the hearing, with written reasons to follow due to the claimant's request.
Practical note
Even with a three-day hearing, a self-represented claimant failed to establish direct race discrimination against a well-represented public sector employer.
