Facts
Rabar Mahmood brought multiple claims against Sainsburys Supermarkets Ltd including race and religion discrimination, disability discrimination, wrongful dismissal, and wage-related claims. A preliminary hearing was held to determine which claims should proceed. The claimant appeared in person while the respondent was represented by counsel.
Decision
The tribunal struck out six claims (all disability-related claims, wrongful dismissal, unlawful deductions from wages, and holiday pay) and/or refused applications to amend to include them. Four claims were permitted to proceed: direct race discrimination, direct religion/belief discrimination, and harassment related to both race and religion/belief.
Practical note
At preliminary hearings, tribunals will scrutinize claims and may strike out those lacking merit or refusing amendments, particularly where claimants are unrepresented and the pleadings may be deficient.
