Case Summary

The claimant was dismissed from her role as Quality Health & Safety Manager after 15 months of employment. She brought claims for automatic unfair dismissal for making a protected disclosure and harassment related to sex or of a sexual nature. The tribunal upheld the unfair dismissal claim but dismissed the harassment claim.

Why this outcome?

One claim dismissed on the merits

The tribunal found that the claimant was dismissed in breach of section 103A ERA because she made a protected disclosure, making the dismissal automatically unfair. However, the harassment claim failed on its merits as the tribunal did not find the alleged conduct amounted to harassment related to sex or of a sexual nature.
