An employment tribunal at the London Central Tribunal has yesterday decided in favour of Al Jazeera International Ltd on several charges of discrimination against a former employee. The high profile case concerns Jo Burgin, employed as Head of Planning in the international news channel's Doha headquarters between 2005 and 2007, who brought claims of unfair dismissal and discrimination on the grounds of sex, race and religion or belief. "This is an important victory for Al Jazeera, and publicly clears its name of any discrimination against an employee," says Anas Al Merstani, Head of Al Jazeera's legal department. "As a global organisation with offices in over 100 countries we welcome people from all walks of life and will strenuously contest claims that we do not." He added he would like to thank the Denton Wilde Sapte team in Doha lead by Leigh Hall and London led by Richard Nicolle, together with QC Ingrid Simler, who helped ensure the emphatic victory in this case. Ms Burgin worked at Al Jazeera alongside her husband, Steve Clark, who was Director of News. This situation became untenable as staff felt Ms Burgin's management style was influenced by her relationship with Mr Clark. As a result she was offered a role in a different department. Ms Burgin declined to take this role, and her contract with Al Jazeera was terminated in April 2007. Denton Wilde Sapte was appointed to act as global counsel to Al Jazeera in November 2007, and provides advice on all aspects of the channel's international business.
