Employment Judge S Shore

Mrs L Reilly (instructed by Lay Representative) for claimant

Mr M Khoshdel (instructed by Counsel) for respondent

Date 3 March 2021

JUDGMENT

ON LIABILITY The unanimous decision of the Tribunal is that:

[1]The claimant’s claims of discrimination and victimisation relating to acts or omissions before 9 March 2020 were not presented within the period of three months less one day of the last act or omission of discrimination or victimisation (plus early conciliation extension), as required by section 123 of the Equality Act 2010 and we do not find it would be just and equitable to extend the time limit. All claims of discrimination and victimisation before 9 March 2020 are dismissed.

[2]None of the acts of victimisation or discrimination that were alleged after 9 March 2020 were unlawful/contrary to the provisions of the Equality Act 2010 and are dismissed.

[3]The claimant’s claim of unfair dismissal is not well-founded and fails. The claimant was dismissed for the sole reason of redundancy. Note: This has been a remote hearing. The parties did not object to the case being heard remotely. The form of remote hearing was V - video. It was not practicable to hold a face to face hearing because of the Covid19 pandemic.
