Facts
Mr Ul-Haq was employed by Transport UK London Bus Limited. Following his dismissal, he brought claims of unfair dismissal, wrongful dismissal, and discrimination on the grounds of race, age and religion/belief, as well as harassment related to those protected characteristics. The case proceeded to a full merits hearing over five days at London South Employment Tribunal.
Decision
The tribunal dismissed all of Mr Ul-Haq's claims, finding them not well-founded. The tribunal concluded that the dismissal was neither unfair nor wrongful, and that the claimant had not been subjected to direct discrimination or harassment on any of the protected grounds alleged.
Practical note
A self-represented claimant bringing multiple discrimination claims alongside unfair and wrongful dismissal failed on all grounds after a five-day hearing, emphasizing the importance of strong evidential foundations for discrimination allegations.
