Leblanch v Gary Callaghan (Owner) [2009] NIIT 9_08IT (24 August 2009)

The claimant failed to prove any facts from which the tribunal could find less favourable treatment on racial or any other grounds, or that he was constructively or unfairly dismissed, or suffered detriment regarding annual leave, health and safety, or disciplinary procedures. The evidence showed the claimant was not treated differently than other head chefs and that his resignation was not a result of the respondents' conduct.
