Mr M Mahmood v National Wealth Fund Ltd: 6000815/2023
JUDGMENT
[1]By not progressing the request of the claimant for a pay review after 11 March 2022 the respondent subjected the claimant to a detriment which was an act of direct sex discrimination.[2]By not progressing the request of the claimant for a pay review after 27 June 2022 the respondent subjected the claimant to a detriment which was an act of victimisation.[3]By seeking immediately to terminate the contract of the claimant on 28 June 2022 the respondent subjected the claimant to a detriment which was an act of victimisation.[4]By making a decision not to extend the claimant’s contract from as early as 29 July 2022 (a decision which was subsequently reversed) the respondent subjected the claimant to a detriment which was an act of victimisation.[5]By providing the clamant with feedback which was factually incorrect on 21 October 2022, in an extract of an earlier email dated 18 August 2022, the respondent subjected the claimant to a detriment which was an act of victimisation. Case No. 6000815/2023[6]The above acts were conduct which extended over a period which ended more than 3 months before the complaint was presented to the Tribunal, but they were presented within such further period the Tribunal thinks was just and equitable.[7]By providing the claimant with feedback which was factually incorrect on 21 October 2022, in an extract of an earlier email dated 18 August 2022, the respondent subjected the claimant to a detriment on the ground the claimant had made a public interest disclosure, namely that its Finance Director had perpetuated a culture of bullying and blaming individuals. The complaint was presented more than 3 months after this act and is out of time, because it was reasonably practicable for the claimant to have presented the claim within that period. The complaint is dismissed.[8]All remaining complaints are not well found and are dismissed. Employment Judge Jones Date: 21 July 2025 Note Reasons for the judgment were given orally at the hearing. Written reasons will not be provided unless a party asked for them at the hearing or a party makes a written request within 14 days of the sending of this written record of the decision.
