Employment Barrister Sarah Johnson represented a large Health & Social Care Charity in a recent discrimination case.

The case was heard over three days at the Liverpool Employment Tribunal.

The claimant was a self-employed Yoga Instructor who brought claims of race discrimination, harassment, unfair dismissal and breach of contract against the respondent that Sarah Johnson was representing.

The claimant argued how she was led to believe that the charity was going to use her services and a contract was being finalised.

Employment Barrister Sarah Johnson argued there was no claim for discrimination as none of the potential suppliers were offered a contract for the services, due to the expense of running the service, not the ethnicity of the claimant.

The further claims of breach of contract and unfair dismissal against the Charity were dropped at the beginning of the final hearing; due to there being no contract drawn up for the claimant and with no official contract employment, no dismissal occurred with the claimant not being employed by the respondent.

Sarah Johnson now focuses her practice on Family and Finance.
