Mr N Kun v Gill Foods Limited — 2021

The case was heard by Employment Judge Whittaker sitting alone by CVP on 11 March 2021. The respondent did not attend and had not filed a Response, despite being given a further opportunity to do so by 19 February 2021. An interpreter assisted the Tribunal and the claimant, and the claimant affirmed the truth of his evidence.

On the wages issue, the claimant confirmed the amounts and calculations he had set out in his email of 9 December 2020. The reasons record four sums of £15.50, £10.67, £134.84 and £821.16. The Tribunal accepted those calculations and found that the total should be paid by the respondent. The reasons state that the four sums total £982.17, although the formal numbered order at paragraph 1 records £912.17.

The claimant also confirmed on oath the discrimination allegations summarised in the case management summaries. The Tribunal found those allegations proven and held that the claims of race discrimination and religious discrimination succeeded. No separate monetary award for those discrimination claims is recorded in the reasons.

Any claims under the Transfer of Undertakings Regulations 2006 were not pursued. After discussion at the hearing, the claimant confirmed that he did not wish to continue with them, and they were treated as withdrawn.
