Facts
Ms Osewa brought claims against Serco Limited and Serco Group Plc alleging direct race discrimination, failure to make reasonable adjustments, holiday pay issues, and unauthorised deduction from wages. The case was heard over five days in August 2025 before a full tribunal panel.
Decision
The tribunal dismissed all four of the claimant's complaints after hearing evidence over five days. Oral reasons were given at the hearing, but written reasons were not included in the judgment.
Practical note
A self-represented claimant was unsuccessful in all claims against Serco, with the tribunal providing only oral reasons for dismissing complaints of race discrimination, disability reasonable adjustments, and pay-related issues.
