Claimant v LTE Group
Outcome
Individual claims
The claimant withdrew this complaint during the hearing. The tribunal dismissed it following the withdrawal.
The tribunal found the complaint of direct race discrimination not well-founded after hearing evidence over three days. The claim was dismissed on its merits.
Facts
Ms. J Panton brought claims against LTE Group for unlawful deduction of wages and direct race discrimination. The case was heard over three days by video hearing at London South Employment Tribunal. The claimant was represented by a friend acting as a lay representative, while the respondent was represented by counsel.
Decision
The tribunal dismissed the unlawful deduction of wages claim following the claimant's withdrawal during the hearing. The direct race discrimination claim was heard on its merits and found to be not well-founded, resulting in dismissal of that claim as well.
Practical note
A full merits hearing over three days resulted in the claimant's race discrimination claim being dismissed, with written reasons only available on request.
