Case Summary

Miss O Baror brought claims of unfair dismissal, disability discrimination, and race discrimination against Santander UK plc. The tribunal dismissed the unfair dismissal claim as the claimant lacked the requisite two years service. The disability discrimination claim was dismissed as the claimant was not disabled within the meaning of the Equality Act 2010. Directions for the race discrimination claim were given separately.

Why this outcome?

The unfair dismissal claim was dismissed because the claimant did not have the requisite two years of service required to bring such a claim.
