Fishco Fine Foods Ltd

Case Summary

The claimant applied to amend her claim to include allegations of sex discrimination and harassment on the grounds of sex. Employment Judge Codd allowed the amendment to add sex discrimination and harassment claims, but refused the application to add a victimisation claim. The judgment is a procedural ruling on amendments to the claim rather than a substantive determination of liability.

The tribunal allowed the amendments to add sex discrimination and harassment claims as they met the applicable procedural test for amendments. The victimisation claim amendment was refused because it was not well founded.
