Commissioners for HM Revenue and Customs employment tribunal cases

Discrimination

Heard at Birmingham

The tribunal upheld the claimant’s direct sex and race discrimination complaints about the checklist wording, but dismissed all other complaints.

Unfair dismissal

Heard at Manchester

Claims 6 and 8 were struck out because they concerned matters already settled or out of time and therefore had no reasonable prospects of success.

Disability Discrimination

The Tribunal exercised its discretion to allow the claimant’s late disability discrimination claims to proceed and permitted the amendment of the claim.

Unfair Dismissal (including trade union detriment claims)

Heard at Newcastle

The tribunal found the claimant knowingly breached the facility‑time policy by using his union allowance to promote industrial action, and that the employer’s disciplinary and dismissal process was reasonable, so none of the claimant’s detriment or unfair‑dismissal claims succeeded.
