Claimant v DLG Logistics UK Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
Application to amend to include automatic unfair dismissal pursuant to protected disclosure under s.103A was allowed by the tribunal. The claim will proceed to a full hearing.
Application to amend to include disability discrimination claims was denied by the tribunal. The claimant's application to add these claims was refused.
Facts
The claimant brought an employment tribunal claim and subsequently applied to amend his claim to include additional claims for whistleblowing (automatic unfair dismissal pursuant to protected disclosure) and disability discrimination. A preliminary hearing was held to determine whether these amendments should be allowed.
Decision
The tribunal allowed the amendment to include whistleblowing claims under s.103A ERA 1996 but denied the application to amend to include disability discrimination claims. The whistleblowing claim will proceed to a full hearing.
Practical note
Not all applications to amend are granted; tribunals exercise discretion in determining whether to allow new claims to be added, and may permit some amendments while refusing others.
