Mr C Sarfo v LIDL Great Britain Ltd
An Employment Tribunal dismissed Mr Sarfo’s discrimination and harassment claims against LIDL. His unfair dismissal claim had been struck out earlier as out of time.
The Employment Tribunal heard Mr C Sarfo’s case against LIDL Great Britain Ltd at Watford on 24 and 25 August 2026 before Employment Judge Tuck KC. The tribunal dismissed his claims of direct discrimination, discrimination arising from disability, failure to make reasonable adjustments and harassment.
The tribunal recorded that Mr Sarfo started work as a customer assistant on 4 February 2017 and was dismissed in July 2024 by reason of capability after long term ill health absence since February 2020. Occupational Health advised in 2023 that there were no adjustments at that time to enable a return to work.
