REASONS
Background
1. The ET1 claim form was submitted by the claimant against the respondent on
25 January 2018. Claims were made for unfair dismissal, disability
5
discrimination, notice pay, holiday pay, arrears of pay and other payments.
There was no specification of the particular statutory provisions which were
being relied upon in respect of the disability discrimination claim, or otherwise.
The ET3 response was submitted on behalf of the respondent on 27 February
2018. Agenda forms were completed by both parties. Preliminary Hearings
10
(‘PH’s) for the purpose of case management in this case took place before EJ
S MacLean on 6 April 2017 and 8 August 2018.
2. The claimant was unrepresented. The respondent was represented by Mr
Maguire, who is not a legally qualified but does have experience in providing
representation before the Employment Tribunal and Employment Appeal
15
Tribunal. Mr Maguire is a sole practitioner providing employment HR services
to clients, including the respondent. The claimant was concerned throughout
these proceedings about the representation by Mr Maguire because he had
been involved with the respondent throughout the internal grievance procedure
which has preceded these claims. Mr Maguire acted professionally in the
20
proceedings before this Tribunal.
