Ms F Mansur v The Board of Governors of Iqra Community Primary School — 2019

The tribunal dismissed the unfair dismissal claim because it was presented out of time and the tribunal found that it was reasonably practicable to present it in time. It also dismissed the sex discrimination claim because it was out of time and it was not just and equitable to hear it.

The claim for detriment on the ground of making protected disclosures succeeded. The tribunal found that the claimant had been subjected to detriments because she had made one or more protected disclosures, including being asked to attend two meetings in July 2017 where it was insinuated that she was responsible for an anonymous disclosure and told that if something happened the respondent would hold her responsible.

The tribunal also found detriments in the respondent's later treatment of the claimant: formal disciplinary action in September 2017 arising out of an incident on 27 September 2017, a level 2 written warning in December 2017 for the same incident, disciplinary proceedings commenced in February 2018 and concluding in June 2018, delay in responding to her subject access request in October 2018, and Mr Parwaiz Bashir's refusal to reconsider the dismissal decision by letter dated 17 December 2018. No monetary remedy is recorded in the written judgment extracted here, which notes that reasons were given orally.
