Bald Teacher Loses No Win No Fee Claim
A teacher who has suffered taunts from his pupils as to his bald head hired a lawyer t bring an employment tribunal against his employers.
He claimed that the children he taught regularly teased him, calling him baldy. As a result of this, his self esteem suffered, hampering his ability to teach. He saw fit to bring a case against the school for disability discrimination.
The tribunal ended with the bald man, a Mr James Campbell, being the victim of further sniggers as the judge found his case ridiculous.
The judge stated that ‘If baldness was to be regarded as an impairment, then perhaps a physical feature, such as a big nose, big ears or being smaller than average height, might of themselves be regarded as an impairment’
Mr Campbell argued that his job suffered as he was contnually harrassed by pupils in and out of lessons.This resulted in a substantial and long term averse affect on his ability to do his job.
‘How can I stand in front of a class with confidence to get on with my job when I am getting teased and bullied about baldness, when I think they are laughing at me all the time’ Said an upset Mr Campbell.
He claimed that pupils who had no respect for him and repeatedly called him baldy would be quite capable of assaulting him as well.
Having lost his claim, he is now pursuing a constructive and unfair dismissal claim against the council.
