Claimant v Capita plc
Outcome

The tribunal found the complaint of harassment related to race was not well-founded and dismissed it, meaning the claimant failed to prove unwanted conduct related to race that violated her dignity or created a hostile environment.
The tribunal found the complaint of failure to make reasonable adjustments for disability was not well-founded and dismissed it, meaning the claimant failed to establish that the respondent was under a duty to make adjustments or failed to make reasonable adjustments.
The tribunal found the complaint of harassment related to disability was not well-founded and dismissed it, meaning the claimant failed to prove unwanted conduct related to disability that violated her dignity or created a hostile environment.
Facts
Miss Moulton brought multiple discrimination claims against her employer Capita plc, including claims of sex discrimination, race discrimination, harassment related to race and disability, failure to make reasonable adjustments for disability, and constructive unfair dismissal. The claimant withdrew her sex discrimination complaint before the hearing concluded. The case proceeded to a four-day preliminary hearing before a full tribunal panel.
Decision
The tribunal dismissed all claims. The sex discrimination claim was dismissed on withdrawal. All other claims - constructive unfair dismissal, direct race discrimination, race harassment, failure to make reasonable adjustments, and disability harassment - were found not well-founded and dismissed, meaning the claimant failed to prove her allegations on the evidence.
Practical note
Multiple discrimination claims against a large employer were comprehensively rejected after a four-day hearing, with the tribunal finding none of the allegations proven.
