MoD worker sues after colleagues fail to give him 'good luck card'

A Ministry of Defence worker at NATO headquarters sued for harassment after he wasn't given a 'good luck' card when leaving his job.

James Eyles was 'upset' not to have his time on the base formally marked, an employment tribunal heard.

The accommodation stores manager claimed he had been targeted because of his disabilities - which included PTSD, depression, anxiety and paranoia.

However, the panel dismissed his claim, ruling that being given a card by colleagues was 'discretionary' and that he wasn't the only one on his team not to have his departure recognised.

The hearing, held in Cambridge, heard Mr Eyles began working for the MoD in March 2020, managing their accommodation stores at Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe in Mons, Belgium.
