Ms K Yakoob, Friend For the First
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt the preliminary hearing on 18 December 2019, Employment Judge Adkin discussed the claims with the claimant and his friend and representative, Ms K Yakoob. The claimant accepted that he had insufficient service for an unfair dismissal claim under s.98 of the Employment Rights Act 1996.
The tribunal also clarified that the second respondent, Mr Rahul Nayar, was neither the employer nor a discriminator, and that he was understood to be a witness in relation to events said to concern the first respondent. In respect of the religion or belief allegation, the tribunal recorded that there was no intention to pursue that Equality Act 2010 claim.
For the protected disclosures allegations, the tribunal noted that the disclosures postdated the alleged detrimental treatment, so causation could not be established. The judgment therefore records that the unfair dismissal claim, the claims against Mr Nayar, the religion or belief claim, and the protected disclosures claims were dismissed upon withdrawal by the claimant. No remedy was recorded.

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.
