ETZ 4(WR) EMPLOYMENT TRIBUNALS (SCOTLAND) Case No: 4100085/2024 Employment Judge: M A Macleod Batul Hassan v Represented by Ms Z Hussain Lay Representative ISS Facility Services Limited — 2024

The tribunal dealt only with the claimant's section 15 Equality Act 2010 claim for discrimination arising from disability. It had previously indicated, following the preliminary hearing on 7 December 2024 and earlier case management directions, that further particulars were required and that failure to clarify the claim could lead to strike out. The parties agreed the issue should be determined on written submissions alone.

After considering the claimant's further material, including references to GP records and to stress, anxiety, depression, dyslexia and PTSD, the tribunal held that the claim still did not set out with sufficient clarity what 'something arising' in consequence of disability was relied on, or what specific unfavourable treatment was alleged. The tribunal noted that the respondent had continued to ask for clarification about the disciplinary action, the promotion decision and the meetings said to have occurred in 2021 and 2022, but the claimant had not provided the necessary detail. It concluded that the section 15 claim had no reasonable prospect of success and struck it out under Rule 38(1)(a), with some reluctance. No monetary award was made.
