Constructive Dismissal and Redundancy Pay

Heard at Manchester

Claim dismissed

Discrimination

Heard at Manchester

All complaints of direct protected belief discrimination were dismissed; the one act of less favourable treatment (being required to work in the library in March 2022) was presented out of time and it was not just and equitable to extend time, and the remaining allegations were not well-founded because the respondent's managers were not aware of the claimant's belief or the treatment was not because of that belief.

Legal Issues (6)
  • Direct discrimination under s.13 Equality Act 2010 on grounds of religion or belief
  • time limits under s.123 Equality Act 2010
  • just and equitable extension
  • knowledge of protected characteristic
  • comparator analysis
  • burden of proof.
