Da’aro Youth Project

Case Summary

The claimant, aged 73, brought claims against Da'aro Youth Project for direct age discrimination, harassment related to age, victimisation, constructive unfair dismissal, constructive discriminatory dismissal, wrongful dismissal and failure to provide a written statement of terms. The tribunal found all complaints failed and were dismissed, with no compensation awarded. The respondent's applications for costs and wasted costs were dismissed upon withdrawal.

The tribunal found that the claimant had failed to establish her claims. No direct age discrimination was found; the restructuring and other contested actions were not motivated by age and occurred for legitimate business reasons. The victimisation claims failed because the respondent's treatment was not connected to the claimant's protected acts of raising equality complaints. The constructive dismissal claims failed because the tribunal found no fundamental breach of the implied term of mutual trust and confidence - the disputed DSAR response and restructuring decisions were not sufficiently serious, and the claimant's characterisation of disputed communications was inaccurate.
