Mr A Awad v OCS Security Ltd and others: 2402974/2021
JUDGMENT
[1]The claimant’s claim of harassment on grounds of race succeeds in part. Specifically, on or around 10 December 2020 Mr S Arbuary harassed the claimant when he asked about the claimant’s origins, commented on his accent, and laughed. The first respondent is liable for the harassment by Mr Arbuary.[2]The claimant’s claim of victimisation succeeds in part. Specifically, the third respondent victimised the claimant on or around 24 December 2020 when we wrote a statement which included allegations of race discrimination against the claimant. The third respondent and the first respondent are jointly liable for that victimisation.[3]The claimant’s remaining complaints of harassment and victimisation, and all of his complaints of direct discrimination are not well-founded. Case No:2402974/2021[4]The second, fourth and fifth respondents are dismissed from the proceedings as the claimant has not succeeded in any of his complaints against them.[5]The Tribunal will determine remedy at a Remedy Hearing, to take place on a date notified to the parties.
