Outcome

Claimant fails

Individual claims

Direct Discrimination(race)failed

The tribunal found the complaint of direct race discrimination was not well-founded. Oral reasons were provided at the hearing but written reasons were not requested, so the detailed reasoning is not available in this judgment.

Indirect Discrimination(race)failed

The tribunal found the complaint of indirect race discrimination was not well-founded. Oral reasons were provided at the hearing but written reasons were not requested, so the detailed reasoning is not available in this judgment.

Facts

Mrs Fernley brought claims of direct and indirect race discrimination against her employer Angard Staffing Solutions Ltd and Royal Mail Group Ltd. She represented herself at the hearing, assisted by her husband. Both respondents were represented by the same solicitor. The hearing took place over three days in Bristol.

Decision

The tribunal dismissed both the direct and indirect race discrimination claims, finding them not well-founded. Oral reasons were given at the hearing but written reasons were not subsequently requested by either party.

Practical note

A self-represented claimant's race discrimination claims against two logistics companies were dismissed after a three-day hearing, with no written reasons available.
