Mrs C Hazard v Reach Lanarkshire Autism: 4100008/2025
[1]The letter sent by the respondent on 6 February 2025 is without prejudice and so inadmissible. It cannot therefore be relied upon as a detriment for the claimant’s victimisation claim.[2]The amendment application is granted so as to include:a. The tribunal claim as a protected actb. The statements from Simon Doherty on 26 February 2025 that the claimant “better be squeaky clean if she intends to continue with her tribunal claim” and that the claimant was “actually a nice person but on paper a thunder cunt” as detriments to the victimisation claimc. The removal of access to her email account on 13 March 2025 as a detriment to the victimisation claimd. The resignation of the claimant on 22 May 2025 as a detriment to the victimisation claim[3]The amended ET1 and amended further and better particulars of claim therefore set out the entirety of the claimant’s claim against the respondent, including the tribunal claim as a protected act.[4]The amendment is granted on the date is was made, namely 19 February 2026 and so time bar remains an outstanding issue.
