Mr Devon Miller For the v All claims of direct race discrimination fail and are dismissed. and 3 others — 2025

The claimant brought allegations under the Equality Act 2010 arising from workplace events including comments about a chair and food, an alcohol breath test, grievance outcomes, notices of conversation, disclosure of statements, probation, and dismissal. The tribunal identified claims of direct race discrimination, direct age discrimination, harassment related to race, and victimisation.

The tribunal found that some alleged treatment was not established. Where treatment was established, it found the respondent had provided an explanation and that the treatment was not because of race, age, or the protected act. For harassment, the tribunal found the alleged treatment was not shown to have the required purpose or effect and did not relate to race.

The tribunal proceeded on the basis that the grievance of 9 July 2022 was a protected act, but found none of the alleged treatment was because of that protected act. All claims failed on their merits and were dismissed, so the tribunal did not need to decide time-limit issues.
