Mr I Blake-Mills v G4S Care & Justice Services (UK) Limited — 2025

The respondent applied for reconsideration of the judgment sent to the parties on 10 December 2025. The application challenged the tribunal's finding that asking the claimant "Are you a drug dealer?" was an act of harassment related to race, arguing error of law in the burden of proof under section 136 of the Equality Act 2010 and perversity in light of negative findings on two other harassment allegations.

Employment Judge Akhtar refused the application after preliminary consideration. The judge did not accept that there had been an error of law and stated that, if the respondent contended there was one, the proper route was appeal rather than reconsideration. The judge also found that the respondent's second ground sought to reopen factual issues already determined and did not identify something important missed by the tribunal or new evidence that could not reasonably have been put forward at the hearing.

The tribunal concluded there was no reasonable prospect of the original decision being varied or revoked. No remedy figures or lay panel members are stated in this reconsideration judgment.
