Mr M Barbe v The Brooke Weston Trust: 3314237/2021
JUDGMENT
This has been a remote hearing which has not been objected to by the parties. The form of remote hearing was by video through HM Court & Tribunal Service Cloud Video Platform (wholly remote). A face-to-face hearing was not held because the relevant matters could be determined in a remote hearing. It is the unanimous decision of the Employment Tribunal that:[1]The hearing proceeded despite the non-attendance of the claimant, pursuant to rule 47 of the Employment Tribunal’s Rules of Procedure 2013.[2]The respondent did not directly discriminate against the claimant on the grounds of his race, contrary to s13 Equality Act 2010. The claimant’s claims were without merit.[3]The respondent did not subject the claimant to race-related harassment, in breach of s26 Equality Act 2010. The claimant’s claims were without merit.[4]8 of the 10 claims the claimant made against the respondent were out of time under s123 Equality Act 2010. If those claims had any merit, which we determine they did not, then we would not have exercised our discretion to allow such claims to proceed on a just and equitable basis. Case Number: 3314237/2021 A[5]Proceedings are now dismissed.
