Tribunal Awards £234,112 to ‘The Acolyte’ Safety Manager for Unfair Dismissal

The ruling draws a clear line between protected complaints and failed discrimination claims.

Overview

  • An Employment Tribunal in Reading awarded Sadi Khan £234,112.66 for unfair dismissal and victimisation.
  • Judges found she was fired after making a protected complaint about being replaced by health and safety veteran Jay Bond.
  • The tribunal said her remarks did not meet Disney’s definition of harassment.
  • It also found the decision to bring in Bond was not racially motivated and dismissed claims of discrimination, detriment and unequal pay.
  • Khan, the first woman of colour to lead health and safety on a Disney Star Wars series, has not worked in the industry since her 2022 dismissal.
