Claimant v London Borough of Haringey
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal heard the claim of harassment related to age over two days. After considering the evidence and submissions, the tribunal found that the complaint was not well-founded and dismissed it.
Facts
Miss K Thomas brought a claim of harassment related to age against Haringey Council. The claim was heard over two days at Watford Employment Tribunal in January 2025. The claimant represented herself while the respondent was represented by a solicitor. Oral reasons were given at the hearing.
Decision
The tribunal dismissed the harassment claim, finding it was not well-founded. The tribunal heard evidence and submissions over two days before reaching its decision. Written reasons were not provided as oral reasons were given at the hearing.
Practical note
Age harassment claims require the claimant to establish that conduct related to age created an intimidating, hostile, degrading, humiliating or offensive environment, which the tribunal found was not established on the facts of this case.
