Victimisation decision handed down in X (A Former School Pupil) v Y Independent School

The First-tier Tribunal (Special Educational Needs and Disability) (the “FTT”) handed down judgment in this matter earlier this year.  A claim was brought for victimisation of a Sixth Form school boy (the “Claimant”) following an email from his mother to the headteacher alleging discrimination.  The FTT found that six of the seven alleged detriments were time-barred; all seven alleged detriments were further dismissed as not having happened, and (had they happened) not having been motivated by the protected act.

Susanna Bennett was instructed by Andrew Sheppard at Kennedys Law LLP for the successful respondent.
