Claimant v Dr S Anand trading as Dentalessence

The tribunal found the claimant was entitled to 1 month's notice but was only given 2 weeks' notice. The respondent breached the contract of employment by failing to provide adequate notice or payment in lieu thereof.

The tribunal did not have jurisdiction to hear the unfair dismissal claim because the claimant did not have the requisite 2 years' continuous service required under s.108 Employment Rights Act 1996.

The tribunal found the claim of direct disability discrimination was not well-founded and dismissed it. The respondent had not treated the claimant less favourably because of her disability.

The tribunal found the disability-related harassment claim was not well-founded and dismissed it. The conduct complained of did not amount to unwanted conduct related to disability that violated the claimant's dignity or created an intimidating, hostile, degrading, humiliating or offensive environment.

The tribunal found the claim for breach of duty to make reasonable adjustments was not well-founded and dismissed it. The respondent had not failed to make reasonable adjustments that would have alleviated the substantial disadvantage faced by the claimant.
