Case Summary

The claimant, a mixed race Commercial Administrator employed by Kier Ltd, brought claims for harassment related to race, victimisation, and direct race discrimination arising from her employment from November 2024 to July 2025. The tribunal dismissed all three claims as not well founded after a five-day hearing, finding no prima facie case of discrimination and no victimisation.

Why this outcome?

Claim not well-founded

The tribunal found that the claimant failed to establish a prima facie case of discrimination or victimisation. The evidence did not support the factual allegations of harassment or discriminatory treatment, and the respondent provided non-discriminatory explanations for its actions, including that it made considerable efforts to support the claimant and progress her grievance.
