The applicant alleged a poisoned work environment based on race, colour, and ethnic origin.
The respondent employer requested orders to dismiss allegations regarding two incidents for delay and to exclude proposed similar fact evidence from two witnesses.
The Tribunal struck the first incident as it occurred more than one year prior to the application and did not form part of a series, but allowed the second incident.
The Tribunal also excluded the proposed similar fact evidence, finding its prejudicial effect exceeded its probative value given the temporal disconnect from the main allegations.
