A jewellery shop worker, Ashok Ahir, has sued his boss, Jeremy Hinds, claiming age discrimination after being called an 'old git' during a dinner with colleagues. Ahir, 60, stated he felt shocked and humiliated by the comment, which he alleged was made after revealing information about his ex-girlfriend's car. Hinds denied the statement was ever made, and the employment tribunal, led by Judge Monica Daley, found insufficient evidence to substantiate the claim. The tribunal noted that the comment was not included in Ahir's grievance and that Hinds had no record of it being reported.

Ashok Ahir claimed he was shocked and humiliated by the remark made by Jeremy Hinds during a dinner with colleagues, almost two years ago.
Judge Monica Daley stated that the tribunal did not find sufficient evidence to support the claim, as there was no record of the incident reported at the time.
The tribunal concluded that the claimant failed to establish facts from which an age discrimination claim could be substantiated on a balance of probabilities.
