Case Summary

The claimant, a female healthcare worker aged 43, brought claims of unfair dismissal, age and sex discrimination, harassment, and breach of contract against her employer, an NHS trust. The key issues were around the trust's vaccination requirements for frontline healthcare staff and the claimant's concerns about vaccine safety during her attempts to become pregnant. The tribunal dismissed the claimant's claims, finding no fundamental breach of contract or unlawful discrimination.

Why this outcome?

Claim not well-founded

The tribunal found that the claimant's claims of constructive dismissal, indirect discrimination, and harassment were not well founded after a full hearing. The tribunal rejected the claimant's arguments that the NHS trust's vaccination requirements constituted a fundamental breach of contract or unlawful discrimination.
