Facts
Mr Raja brought three separate claims against Greater Manchester Police involving allegations of discrimination on multiple grounds including race, religion, and disability. A preliminary hearing was held to determine case management issues including which claims would proceed.
Decision
The tribunal ordered that all three cases be joined and heard together at a final hearing in February 2026. Several claims were dismissed on withdrawal including direct religion discrimination, some harassment claims, and unlawful deduction of wages. The remaining claims including indirect religion discrimination, race and disability harassment, failure to make reasonable adjustments, victimisation, and holiday pay will proceed.
Practical note
This case management judgment demonstrates how tribunals consolidate multiple related claims while allowing claimants to strategically withdraw certain claims while preserving others for final determination.
