Croydon LBC and its chief executive Katherine Kerswell have been cleared of allegations of racial discrimination by an employment tribunal, brought by a former council director.
Hazel Simmonds, one of four directors suspended after Croydon issued a section 114 notice in 2020, accused Ms Kerswell and Croydon of racial discrimination.
Now, following a three-week hearing, employment tribunal Judge Adam Leith has dismissed all claims of sex and racial discrimination, harassment and constructive and unfair dismissal against the council.
Claims against Kerswell, for racial and sexual discrimination, were also dismissed.
