Handsale Ltd

Case Summary

The claimant claimed against Handsale Limited for various breaches including defamation, health and safety, data protection, human rights, and race discrimination. The tribunal struck out several claims for lack of jurisdiction and struck out the direct race discrimination claim as having no reasonable prospect of success, allowing it to proceed only as religious belief discrimination and/or harassment.

The tribunal struck out claims for defamation, health and safety, data protection, and human rights breaches because the employment tribunal lacks jurisdiction to hear such claims. The direct race discrimination claim was struck out as having no reasonable prospect of success because the claimant's own factual allegation showed her black colleague was treated more favourably, which cannot constitute direct race discrimination against the claimant.
