Dr S Mokhammad v Mersey and West Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust and 2 others — 2023

The claimant, a trainee GP employed by the first respondent, brought claims of direct race discrimination, direct disability discrimination, harassment related to race and to disability, failure to make reasonable adjustments, victimisation, and unauthorised deductions from wages in relation to sick pay. The claims were brought against his employer (R1), the NHS body co-ordinating GP training (R2), and one host placement organisation (R3). The respondents accepted that the claimant was disabled at the relevant time by reason of diabetes, but not by reason of his other asserted conditions (anxiety and stress; dyslexia and dyspraxia).

Following a hearing in November 2023 and February 2024, with panel deliberations in March 2024, the Tribunal unanimously found that none of the complaints were well-founded. All seven complaints were dismissed. The Tribunal also addressed a procedural issue raised during the hearing about whether the claimant's basic salary fell within the unauthorised deductions claim, concluding that the agreed List of Issues confined the wages claim to sick pay, and that in any event the basic salary issue (pleaded as race discrimination) was not made out on the facts.

The judgment text supplied to this extraction is heavily truncated (roughly 347,000 characters omitted from the middle), so the detailed factual reasoning supporting each dismissal is not visible here; the visible portions show the formal judgment, introduction, procedural background, and the List of Issues. No remedy was awarded because all claims were dismissed.
