Debbie Jacka v Steren Surveyors Limited and 3 others — 2023

The tribunal dismissed the Claimant's complaint of direct sex discrimination. It upheld harassment related to sex in part: allegations 2.2.2, 2.2.4, 2.2.5 and 2.2.8 were upheld against the First and Fourth Respondents, and allegations 2.2.13 and 2.2.25 were upheld against the First, Third and Fourth Respondents. The remaining complaints of harassment related to sex were dismissed.

The tribunal found allegation 4.2.5 of victimisation well-founded and successful against the First and Fourth Respondents. The judgment also records that it was dismissed 'in relation to the First and Second Respondents', so that wording is not fully clear in the extracted text. Allegation 4.2.6 of victimisation was found not well-founded and was dismissed.

The tribunal upheld the complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages, finding that the First Respondent made an unauthorised deduction from the Claimant's wages in the period 1 November to 31 December 2021. It also upheld the breach of contract complaint concerning private medical insurance for the period 21 November to 31 December 2021, and found that when proceedings began the First Respondent was in breach of its duty to provide a written statement of employment. Remedy was left to a separate hearing.
