Claimant v Holland and Barrett Retail Limited

The tribunal heard the claimant's claims of direct race discrimination over a four-day hearing. After considering all evidence and submissions, the tribunal found that the claimant had not established facts from which discrimination could be inferred, or that the respondent had provided a non-discriminatory explanation for the treatment complained of.

The tribunal considered the claimant's allegations that she was subjected to unwanted conduct related to race. The tribunal concluded that the conduct complained of either did not occur, was not related to race, or did not have the purpose or effect of violating the claimant's dignity or creating an intimidating, hostile, degrading, humiliating or offensive environment.

The tribunal examined whether the claimant was subjected to detriment because she had done a protected act. The tribunal found either that no protected act had been established, that no detriment had been suffered, or that any treatment was not because of a protected act.
