Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe case was an open preliminary hearing on the claimant's application dated 24 September 2020 to amend an ET1 that had originally pleaded only harassment related to race. He sought to add direct and indirect discrimination complaints based on events said to have occurred at Blackburn Homeless Unit between 7 December 2017 and 26 January 2020, involving Pauline Watson, Ewen Archer, Susan McPhillips, Lorna MacDonald and Geoff Livingstone. The tribunal approached the application through the Selkent line of authority, including Amey Services, Newsquest and Gallilee, and treated time bar, timing, and fair notice as central issues.
