Miss Y Akhtar
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a preliminary hearing before Employment Judge Camp on 10 March 2021. The claimant, Miss Y Akhtar, was given permission to rely on further particulars of claim dated 11 December 2020 and to amend her claim so that it comprised two complaints: harassment related to the religion of Islam on 1 January 2020, and indirect religious discrimination based on a provision, criterion or practice requiring staff not to wear a headscarf or other head covering when visiting certain service users, alternatively a particular service user.
The tribunal held that it was just and equitable, under section 123 of the Equality Act 2010, to extend time so that both complaints could be brought. The judgment records no substantive findings on liability and no remedy award.

Parties and monetary figures are extracted from the judgment PDF text. Key findings and per-claim outcomes require a second extraction pass that is not yet complete for this case — until then, the primary source linked above is the authoritative record.
