A black accounts worker sued for race discrimination after colleagues didn't give her a card on her birthday.
Benabel Marston told an employment tribunal that 'everyone else got a card and snacks' on their anniversary, but she got 'nothing'.
Ms Marston, who identifies as black African and worked in the finance department at the Hilton at Gatwick airport, sued her employer after being sacked a few months later.
She alleged that her birthday wasn't celebrated because of her race.
But Ms Marston's claim was rejected because her birthday fell shortly after a team decision had been made to no longer celebrate the occasion for staff members.
