N/A This incident triggered my
breakdown and second period of
long-term sickness absence, (after
enduring ten months of sustained
pressure, stress and anxiety, as a
result of bullying, harassment and
victimisation and my employers
consistent failure to make
reasonable adjustments).
10. The alleged consequences of all these incidents of discrimination (which are continuing acts) are that I suffered injury to feelings, change in personality, strain on personal relationships,
effect on future employment (i.e. stigma and future health in relation to future loss of earnings), injury to health (i.e. stress related severe depression, panic attacks, insomnia, eating difficulties and
muscle spasms/weakness in arm and the exacerbation of my pre-existing condition- hypertension) and aggravated damages because my complaints of discrimination were handled were in a high-
handed, insulting and oppressive manner. These consequences are also themselves alleged to be detriments, as set out in paragraphs 97, 117 & 118, 119, 120, 122 & 123.
NB The incidents and allegations identified in claim number 2330171/2010/N are continuing acts which relate to claim number 2300254/2011B (1-10), which was lodged under the EA in December
2010. The claims detail continuing acts of victimisation, which continued on or after 1 October 2010 and therefore they are also unlawful under the Equality Act 2010 s.111- s.13, s.15, ss20 - ss23,
s26 - s27. At the PHR for this claim which took place on 16 & 17 June 2011, Judge Baron granted a notional amendment, granting me leave to argue this point at the main hearing.
