Facts
Miss Fasinro brought claims of age, race, and sex discrimination against Coyle Personnel Limited, a recruitment or personnel services company. The case proceeded to a three-day full merits hearing before a full tribunal panel. The claimant represented herself while the respondent was represented by a consultant. During the hearing, the claimant withdrew her age discrimination complaint.
Decision
The tribunal dismissed the age discrimination claim upon withdrawal. After hearing evidence and submissions over three days, the tribunal found that the complaints of direct race discrimination and direct sex discrimination were not well-founded and dismissed both claims. Oral reasons were given at the hearing.
Practical note
A self-represented claimant failed to establish a prima facie case of direct race and sex discrimination against a recruitment company at a full merits hearing.
