Miss. C. Roberston v The Secretary of State for Justice — 2025

The Tribunal dismissed the complaints of direct race discrimination, direct disability discrimination, discrimination arising from disability, and victimisation. It found that the pleaded allegations concerning suspension, disciplinary and grievance processes, sickness absence warning, and final written warning were not made out or were not because of race, disability, something arising from disability, or protected acts.

On discrimination arising from disability, the Tribunal also stated that, even if its primary finding was wrong, the Respondent's treatment was a proportionate means of achieving the stated legitimate aim of complying with conduct and professionalism policies. For victimisation, it accepted that the Claimant had carried out protected acts, but found no proven nexus between those acts and the detriments alleged.

The Tribunal dismissed the constructive unfair dismissal complaint. It found no repudiatory breach and concluded that the Claimant resigned of her own volition because she wanted to pursue university study and an alternative career path, rather than because she was forced to resign by the Respondent's alleged actions.
