JUDGMENT

JUDGMENT The unanimous decision of the Tribunal is that:[1]The claimant’s claim of harassment of a sexual nature (under to section 26(2) of the Equality Act 2010) is dismissed. It was not presented within the time limits set out in section 123 of the Equality Act 2010 and the Tribunal does not find it just and equitable to extend time.[2]The claimant’s claims that she was subjected to two detriments short of dismissal because she made one or more protected disclosures under section 47B of the Employment Rights Act 1996 are determined as follows: 2.1. The protected disclosures contended for by the claimant were not qualifying disclosures as defined in section 43B of the Employment 1 of 2 Case Number: 2602571/2022 Rights Act 1996. The claimant cannot rely on a disclosure made by her husband. 2.2. The claimant did not make a qualifying disclosure to Alison Clarke on 22 or 23 July 2021. 2.3. The claimant’s claims of detriment are dismissed.[3]The claimant’s claim of victimisation under section 27 of the Equality Act 2010 is dismissed.[4]The claimant’s claim of unfair dismissal is dismissed.[5]As the claimant’s claims have all been dismissed, there is no requirement to hold a hearing about remedy.
