Claimant v Ward Security Ltd
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal found that the respondent did not directly discriminate against the claimant under section 13 Equality Act 2010 when dismissing him. The tribunal was not satisfied that the dismissal was because of a protected characteristic.
The tribunal found that the respondent did not unlawfully harass the claimant contrary to section 26 Equality Act 2010. The conduct complained of did not meet the statutory test for harassment.
Facts
Mr Kabati brought claims of direct discrimination and harassment against Ward Security Ltd following his dismissal. The case was heard over three days in person before Employment Judge Nash. Mr Kabati represented himself while the respondent was represented by counsel.
Decision
The tribunal dismissed both claims. The tribunal found that the respondent did not directly discriminate against Mr Kabati in dismissing him and did not unlawfully harass him under the Equality Act 2010.
Practical note
An unrepresented claimant bringing discrimination claims relating to dismissal and harassment failed to establish either direct discrimination or harassment on the facts of the case.
