Claimant v Dr A La Rocca-Schiaffini
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal heard the case over five days and found the claimant's claims of direct race discrimination against all three respondents were not well-founded. The judgment was given orally at the hearing but specific reasoning was not included in the written record provided.
Facts
Dr Mohamed, appearing in person, brought claims of direct race discrimination against two individual respondents (Dr La Rocca-Schiaffini and Professor Fooks) and the Animal and Plant Health Agency. The case was heard over five days at London South Employment Tribunal before a full panel.
Decision
The tribunal dismissed all of the claimant's claims of direct race discrimination against all three respondents, finding them not well-founded. Reasons were given orally at the hearing but were not included in the written judgment.
Practical note
A self-represented claimant bringing race discrimination claims against individual managers and a public sector employer was unsuccessful after a five-day full merits hearing.
