Miss Z Raja, lay representative For the v Respondent — 2024

The claimant asked for two postponements at the final hearing. The tribunal refused the first because it could determine the single remaining allegation of harassment without hearing evidence. It refused the second because the application was made only at the final hearing while the respondent was ready to proceed, and because the remaining allegation was not affected by Employment Judge Wade's disability decision sent on 13 February 2024.

The tribunal then dismissed the claimant's harassment claims. It recorded that the claimant's claims of harassment related to race dated 20 December 2022 could not succeed and were dismissed. The judgment gives the reason that the claimant did not have a disability then, although the claim is described in the judgment as race-related.

The tribunal also dismissed the remaining harassment claim concerning the notes of the interview with Mr A Kalam during a grievance process under section 26 Equality Act 2010. It found that this allegation failed on the facts, was not upheld, and was dismissed. No monetary remedy was awarded or addressed in the judgment text.
