Claimant v Leicester College
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal found that the complaint of constructive unfair dismissal was not well founded. Written reasons were not provided in the judgment, but the claim was dismissed following a 4-day hearing.
The tribunal concluded that the respondent had not failed to make reasonable adjustments for the claimant's disability. The claim was dismissed as not well founded after full merits hearing.
Facts
Mr Savas Coban brought claims against Leicester College for constructive unfair dismissal and failure to make reasonable adjustments in relation to a disability. The case proceeded to a full merits hearing over four days in November 2025 before a full tribunal panel. The claimant represented himself while the college was represented by counsel.
Decision
The tribunal dismissed both claims, finding neither the constructive dismissal nor the failure to make reasonable adjustments complaints were well founded. Additionally, the tribunal ordered the claimant to pay a contribution of £100 towards the respondent's costs.
Practical note
A self-represented claimant bringing disability discrimination and constructive dismissal claims against an educational institution was unsuccessful on all grounds and faced a modest costs award.
