please provide the answer in a dialogue form for this case study not in answers, write the dialogues as mentioned in the instructions
After months of searching for a weekend job, Dant, who is Black, finally got an interview with the owner of a busy car wash and gas station. The owner seemed reluctant to hire him, but Dant managed to win him over. The owner gave him the job, saying that he would be working on a weekend shift with seven other young men, all students from the local area. The shift manager would train him on the car wash equipment.
On Dant's first day, the shift manager gave him only a few minutes of instruction on the equipment. Dant watched what the other men were doing, but when he asked questions, they were not very helpful.
Over the next few weekends, Dant concentrated on his work but because of certain events, he increasingly began to stay by himself. A few co-workers invited him to join their little group for lunch or breaks, but others consistently cracked ethnic and racial jokes, often within hearing of the shift manager. One day Dant overheard the manager say that Black people were responsible for increased violence in the community. This statement encouraged some co-workers, who had previously eaten lunch with Dant, to tell a couple of jokes about Black people. When they glanced at him as they told their jokes, he got up and walked away.
One busy Saturday afternoon, a whole section of the car wash equipment broke down because someone had allowed the system to become overheated. Dant had worked on that section until his break, when a co-worker took over. The system had broken down at some point after that.
The shift manager was furious and accused Dant of negligence. Dant replied that he believed the system was fine when he left for his break. Although Dant insisted that the equipment failure was not his fault, the shift manager fired him. Dante believed he was discriminated against because he is Black, while his co-workers and managers are White.

Tribunal role play
With this activity, you will take part in a tribunal scenario for each case study. A tribunal usually consists of one person who decides on the human rights complaint (called an application). A final decision by a tribunal can order a person or company that discriminates to pay for any of that persons losses and make the company change the way it operates to make sure the discrimination does not continue. A tribunal decision is a legal one and therefore can be appealed to a higher court.
In groups of seven or eight, you will be given one of the case studies and prepare arguments for and against the alleged violation. In their groups, they will choose their parts:
Applicant(s) the person who has the complaint and files an application
Respondent(s) the person or organization that the complaint is against and is named in the application
Lawyer(s) for the respondent
Lawyer(s) for the applicant
Witnesses for the applicant and respondent
Vice-Chair or Adjudicator (who conducts the Tribunal hearing).
When each group has prepared its case, set up a hearing room in the classroom. Everyone should have a role in each case as it is acted out. Encourage everyone to try as many roles as possible.
The Vice-Chair or Adjudicator introduces him/herself and the parties
Next, the Vice-Chair sets out the ground rules
The applicant or his/her counsel starts by setting out his/her issues
The respondent or the respondents counsel sets out their issues
Both parties present evidence, ask the other party questions
The Vice-Chair or Adjudicator hears the facts, applies the Code and case law, and makes a decision.
