The Tribunal unanimously dismissed the claim of direct race discrimination brought under section 13 of the Equality Act 2010, finding the claimant had not established discriminatory treatment on grounds of race.
The Tribunal unanimously dismissed the claim of direct discrimination on grounds of religion or belief under section 13 of the Equality Act 2010, finding no evidence of discriminatory treatment based on the claimant's religion or belief.
The claim for unpaid holiday pay was dismissed by the Tribunal. After considering the evidence, the Tribunal found the claimant was not entitled to the holiday pay claimed.
Facts
Shabrez Iqbal brought claims against his former employer Joint Security Services Limited alleging unfair dismissal, non-payment of notice pay, race and religion discrimination, and unpaid holiday pay. The case was heard over five days before a full tribunal panel in Birmingham in June and July 2025.
Decision
The Tribunal unanimously dismissed all of the claimant's claims including unfair dismissal, notice pay, race and religion discrimination under the Equality Act 2010, and holiday pay. The claimant was represented by a companion and the respondent by a litigation consultant.
Practical note
This judgment demonstrates that bringing multiple claims including discrimination allegations does not guarantee success where the evidence does not support the claims on their merits.
