Case Summary

The claimant brought claims of direct race discrimination, harassment related to race, equal pay, and constructive dismissal against The Players Club UK Limited. All claims were dismissed as not well-founded. The tribunal found that whilst the claimant and her comparator were engaged in like work, the respondent established a material factor defence under section 69 of the Equality Act 2010.

Why this outcome?

Claim not well-founded

The tribunal found that the claimant's race discrimination and harassment claims were not well-founded. Although the claimant and comparator were engaged in like work for equal pay purposes, the respondent successfully established a material factor defence under section 69 of the Equality Act 2010 to explain the pay difference. The constructive dismissal claim also failed.
