Claimant v Bestway Wholesale Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
The claimant consented to withdraw the victimisation claim under s.27 of the Equality Act 2010, as the constituent elements of the s.27 wrong were not present on the facts relied upon. The tribunal noted that other claims remain to be determined.
