Redundancy - racial discrimination?

By a good case, I mean it’s not completely vexatious.
The grounds of my claim are that the rest of the team exclude me by speaking in another language all day which I do not understand and excluding me from a chat group they are all part of. I complained about both things and there was no improvement.
They’ve said the other language is used infrequently - the witnesses being the perpetrators themselves - but also that it reduced significantly after my complaint (which is slightly contradictory in my view). Also that i should of specifically raised it as racial discrimination when I complained, which, in my view, is an odd defence.

If there are preliminary hearings then I will go for that and then drop it should it be clear at that point that I have no chance of winning.

neither are grounds for a racial discrimination case against the employer

there may be a capability case if they are refusing to communicate with you in a clear and concise manner that is preventing you from undertaking your duties - but not if its social/general chit chat. Same with the chat group

The chasm between good and completely vexatious is massive. Your case is somewhere near the bottom.

You have 2 hopes. Miniscule and Bob.

Not with less than two years service. There are only very limited exceptions to the "two year rule" and that ain't one of them!

Sorry - should have been clearer, I meant against “them” not the OP - that if their actions were resulting in the poor performance of other staff
