Claimant v Myers Group 1959 Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal dismissed the claimant's race discrimination complaints, finding they were not well founded after a three-day hearing with full consideration of the evidence presented by both parties.
The tribunal found the claimant's protected disclosure detriment complaints were not well founded, meaning either no protected disclosures were made or the claimant did not suffer detriment because of such disclosures.
The tribunal dismissed the unfair dismissal complaint as not well founded, concluding the respondent had a fair reason for dismissal and acted reasonably in treating it as sufficient reason to dismiss.
Facts
Mr Stonys brought claims against Myers Group 1959 Limited alleging race discrimination, protected disclosure detriment, and unfair dismissal. The case was heard over three days by video hearing. Mr Stonys represented himself while the respondent was represented by counsel.
Decision
The tribunal unanimously dismissed all of Mr Stonys' claims, finding none were well founded. The race discrimination, whistleblowing detriment, and unfair dismissal complaints all failed after consideration of the evidence.
Practical note
Self-represented claimants face significant challenges when bringing multiple claims against legally represented employers, particularly where evidential burdens must be met for discrimination and whistleblowing allegations.
