Anakaa v FirstSource Solutions Ltd [2013] NIIT 1152_12IT (31 December 2013)

The tribunal found no evidence of less favourable treatment or harassment on grounds of race, nor any evidence that the claimant was disabled within the statutory definition or that the respondent failed to make reasonable adjustments. The claimant was paid all sums due, was provided access to itemised pay statements, and suffered no breach of contract. The medical/health issues raised did not justify a permanent anonymity order. All claims were dismissed.
