Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

This judgment records a preliminary hearing concerning the claimant's application to amend her existing claim. The tribunal granted the application to amend to include allegations of racial harassment, as identified in the attached schedule.

The schedule shows that amendments were allowed in relation to harassment allegations under section 26 Equality Act 2010 concerning incidents on 9 April 2020, 14 April 2020 and 30 April 2020, in each case in respect of race. Where disability was also proposed for the same incidents, the amendment was not allowed in respect of disability.

The tribunal did not grant the claimant's application to amend to include the disability discrimination allegations identified in the schedule. The schedule also records that proposed amendments described as indirect discrimination under section 19 Equality Act 2010, direct discrimination under section 13 Equality Act 2010, and two further harassment incidents on 10 April 2020 were not allowed.

How we got this data

Case essentials (reference, date, judge, venue, country, claim categories) are extracted from the structured metadata gov.uk publishes alongside each decision. 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.
