LONDON, July 27 (Reuters) - A former Barclays (BARC.L) director who was fired for sexual harassment has lost an employment lawsuit against the British bank in which he sought nearly 600,000 pounds ($770,000) in compensation, a London tribunal announced on Thursday.
He argued at the East London Employment Tribunal in March that female colleagues fabricated allegations against him and that his dismissal was unfair.
But his complaints of unfair dismissal, breach of contract and sex discrimination were rejected on July 10, according to a summary of the tribunal's findings published on Thursday.
Barclays and Record's lawyer did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
But Barclays said Record's dismissal was fair based on disciplinary findings including "unwelcome physical contact with a female colleague" and sexual harassment, filings showed.
