The applicants alleged that the respondents discriminated against them based on family status when they were asked to move to an outer waiting area at a court reporting centre because they had a baby with them.
The Tribunal held a summary hearing to determine if the applications had a reasonable prospect of success.
The Tribunal found that even if the applicants' allegations were true, the respondents' conduct did not amount to substantive discrimination, as moving to a similar waiting area did not create a true disadvantage.
Furthermore, the applicants failed to trigger the duty to accommodate by not informing the respondents that the outer area was uncomfortable for their baby before leaving the premises.
The applications were dismissed.
