Claimant v The Lifeways Group
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal found the victimisation claims made under section 27 of the Equality Act 2010 were not well-founded and dismissed them following a three-day hearing with reasons given orally.
Facts
Miss Kesson brought victimisation claims under section 27 of the Equality Act 2010 against The Lifeways Group. The case was heard over three days in Aberdeen. Miss Kesson represented herself while the respondent was represented by an advocate. The judgment provides no detail about the underlying facts as only the formal judgment has been preserved.
Decision
The tribunal dismissed all victimisation claims after finding they were not well-founded. The judge gave oral reasons at the conclusion of the hearing on 19 November 2025.
Practical note
A self-represented claimant's victimisation claims against a healthcare employer failed after a full merits hearing where the respondent was represented by counsel.
