THE INDUSTRIAL TRIBUNALS
CASE REF: 1615/05
CLAIMANT: Robert James Peifer
RESPONDENTS: 1. Drumglass High School
2. South Eastern Education and Library Board
DECISION
On the basis of the respondents’ admission of liability made by counsel in open tribunal, the tribunal finds that the respondents unlawfully discriminated against the claimant on the ground of sex, in relation to the above claim presented to the tribunal on 23 November 2005.
Constitution of Tribunal:
Chairman: Mr S A Crothers
Members: Mr F Murtagh
Ms E McFarline
Appearances:
The claimant appeared in person and represented himself.
The respondents were represented by Miss Finnegan, Barrister-at-Law, instructed by the Education and Library Board’s Solicitors.
1. The respondents’ counsel admitted liability, in open tribunal, to unlawful discrimination by the respondents on the ground of sex against the claimant in relation to the above claim presented to the tribunal on 23 November 2005.
2. It did not prove possible to proceed to a remedy hearing during the remainder of the week set aside for the substantive hearing as the claimant objected to such a proximate hearing, and declared his intention to lodge an appeal.
3. It is further recorded that the unanimous decision of the tribunal, in accordance with its overriding objective, and in light of the admission of unlawful sex discrimination by both respondents, is that the case is postponed to consider a hearing on remedy at an appropriate time.
