Facts

Doaa Aboubakr brought claims of unfair dismissal and race discrimination against her former employer Vodafone Limited. The case was heard over three days in a hybrid hearing at Birmingham Employment Tribunal. The claimant represented herself while the respondent was represented by counsel.

Decision

The tribunal dismissed both claims, finding neither the unfair dismissal nor the race discrimination claim to be well founded. This is a summary judgment document and full written reasons have not been provided at this stage.

Practical note

This appears to be a summary judgment record where both unfair dismissal and race discrimination claims brought by an unrepresented claimant against a major telecommunications employer were unsuccessful after a full merits hearing.
