LONDON, March 13 (Reuters) - Three Black bankers, who

sued Barclays ( JJCTF ) for a combined 52.8 million pounds ($66.7

million) in London over allegations that included race

discrimination, harassment, victimisation and whistleblower

detriment, have largely lost their case.

In a near 460-page judgment published on Wednesday, the East

London Employment Tribunal dismissed almost all claims brought

by former Vice President (VP) Louis Samnick, Christian Abanda

Bella, a VP, and Assistant VP Henry-Serge Moune Nkeng.

The three men of Cameroonian background, who represented

themselves in the lengthy case, had alleged they had been

bullied, harassed and denied promotion and appropriate support,

in part because of their race.

Samnick, a former vice president in the bank's credit risk

model validation team, and Abanda Bella, a quantitative analyst,

succeeded with a claim that Barclays ( JJCTF ) had failed to make

reasonable adjustments for "sufficiently significant" health

problems during a 2019 performance review, the judgment showed.

All other claims failed.

Barclays ( JJCTF ) welcomed the decision. "We are committed to

building a diverse and equitable culture where everyone is

included and has access to development opportunities throughout

their career," a spokesperson said.

Reuters was unable to reach the claimants.

Abanda Bella joined Barclays ( JJCTF ) in 2017 but has been signed off

work with depression since 2019. In his 2019 appraisal, carried

out in his absence, his performance was assessed as "needs

improvement". Samnick, who received the same 2019 performance

rating, had been on sick leave since September 2019.

Ranked as a vice president for 10 years, Samnick resigned in

2021 after securing another bank job at executive director

grade, the judgment showed.

A remedy hearing will be called if the parties cannot agree

compensation for the single failure to make reasonable

adjustments for disabilities.
