‘The Appellant was Ms Habib. She brought a discrimination case against the Respondent, the nature of which was not really relevant to the decision of the EAT. Credibility was a key issue however. The Tribunal found that the way the Appellant gave evidence led them to believe that she was not always being truthful and that her recollection was sometimes unreliable. Her claims were dismissed.’

‘By this judgment, the EAT allowed an appeal against a finding that an employee’s dismissal was because of her pregnancy (contrary s.18 Equality Act 2010) on the ground that the ET had not considered Reynolds v CLFIS (UK) Ltd [2015] ICR 1010. Reynolds is no doubt familiar to experienced employment lawyers, it stands for the principle that, in a discrimination claim, the relevant decision maker must have been (at least significantly) influenced by a protected characteristic. A composite approach, bringing together the act of one individual with a discriminatory reason of another is not permitted.’
