Claimant v Total People Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal refused the claimant's application to amend her claim to add allegations of disability harassment. The application to amend was rejected at this preliminary hearing.
Facts
Ms Brown brought a claim against her former employer Total People Limited. At a preliminary hearing, she applied to amend her claim to add allegations of disability harassment under the Equality Act 2010. The claimant appeared in person while the respondent was represented by a solicitor.
Decision
Employment Judge Feeney refused the claimant's application to amend her claim to add disability harassment allegations. This was a procedural decision made at a preliminary hearing and did not involve a determination on the merits of any substantive claims.
Practical note
Applications to amend claims to add new allegations must satisfy the tribunal's test for amendments, and will not automatically be granted even where the claimant is self-represented.
