Claimant v Sunderland Specsavers Hearcare Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal heard evidence over two days and found that the claimant had not established facts from which the tribunal could conclude that direct race discrimination had occurred. The complaints were unanimously dismissed as not well-founded.
Facts
Mr G Singh, a self-represented claimant, brought complaints of direct race discrimination against his former employer, Sunderland Specsavers Hearcare Limited. The case was heard over two days in Bristol before a full tribunal panel comprising an Employment Judge and two lay members.
Decision
The tribunal unanimously dismissed all complaints of direct race discrimination, finding them not well-founded. Oral reasons were given at the hearing, with written reasons available on request within 14 days.
Practical note
A self-represented claimant in a race discrimination case against a well-represented healthcare employer was unsuccessful in establishing facts from which discrimination could be inferred, resulting in unanimous dismissal.
