THE INDUSTRIAL TRIBUNALS
CASE REF: 1622/14
CLAIMANT: Miroslaw Cich
RESPONDENT: Campbell Catering (NI) Ltd
T/a Aramark
DECISION
The unanimous decision of the tribunal is that:-
(1) The claimant’s claim that he was unlawfully discriminated against on the ground of his race by the respondent, pursuant to the Race Relations (Northern Ireland) Order 1997, when he was allegedly dismissed by the respondent at about August/September 2013, was out of time and it was not just and equitable to extend time. The tribunal therefore does not have jurisdiction to determine this complaint and it must be dismissed.
(2) The claimant’s remaining claims that he was unlawfully discriminated against on the grounds of his race by the respondent, pursuant to the Race Relations (Northern Ireland) Order 1997 are in time and the tribunal had jurisdiction to determine them. The tribunal was not satisfied that the claimant was unlawfully discriminated against on the grounds of his race, pursuant to the said Order, in respect of the said claims and they are therefore dismissed.
