Claimant v National Wealth Fund Limited

The respondent subjected the claimant to a detriment by not progressing his request for a pay review after 11 March 2022. The tribunal found this was direct sex discrimination, treating the claimant less favourably because of his sex.

The respondent subjected the claimant to multiple detriments because he had done a protected act. These included: not progressing pay review after 27 June 2022, seeking to immediately terminate his contract on 28 June 2022, deciding not to extend his contract from 29 July 2022, and providing factually incorrect feedback on 21 October 2022.

The tribunal found that the respondent subjected the claimant to a detriment (providing factually incorrect feedback on 21 October 2022) because he made a public interest disclosure about the Finance Director perpetuating a culture of bullying. However, the complaint was presented more than 3 months after the act and dismissed as out of time, as it was reasonably practicable to present within the time limit.
