Case Summary

The claimant claimed race discrimination, whistleblowing, and holiday pay violations against Oxford Brookes University following his dismissal in April 2024. The tribunal struck out the claim, finding a lack of jurisdiction over the whistleblowing claim and insufficient clarity regarding protected characteristics and the grounds for the discrimination claim.

Why this outcome?

Jurisdictional bar

The tribunal struck out the claim due to lack of jurisdiction over the whistleblowing elements and the claimant's failure to clearly identify protected characteristics and substantiate the grounds for the discrimination claim in response to the Employment Judge's Rule 28 notice.
