Facts
The claimant brought claims against National Highways Limited under two case numbers (1303015/2023 and 1303416/2023) alleging disability and age discrimination, failure to make reasonable adjustments, harassment, and victimisation. The claims involved allegations relating to performance management, pay issues, team moves, data protection breaches, and retirement comments among other matters.
