Facts

Dr Parker brought a claim of victimisation against Liverpool John Moores University. The case was heard over two days by video. Oral reasons were given at the hearing, with written reasons to follow after an oral request was made.

Decision

The tribunal found the victimisation complaint was not well-founded and dismissed the claim. The claimant represented himself while the respondent was represented by counsel.

Practical note

A university successfully defended a victimisation claim brought by an employee who represented themselves against counsel, with the tribunal finding no substance to the complaint after a full merits hearing.
