Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal held that the claimant's dismissal was an act of direct race discrimination under section 13 Equality Act 2010 and that complaint was well-founded. It also rejected the claimant's remaining direct race discrimination complaints and the race harassment complaint under section 26 Equality Act 2010, dismissing them as not well-founded.
On remedy, the tribunal ordered the respondent to pay a total of £20,142.90 in respect of the upheld dismissal discrimination complaint. The award comprised £7,500 for injury to feelings, £8,400 for loss of salary, a 20% uplift for unreasonable breach of the relevant ACAS Code of Practice assessed at £3,180, and £1,062.90 interest.

How we got this data
Case essentials (reference, date, judge, venue, country, claim categories) are extracted from the structured metadata gov.uk publishes alongside each decision. Parties and monetary figures are extracted from the judgment PDF text. Key findings and per-claim outcomes require a second extraction pass that is not yet complete for this case — until then, the primary source linked above is the authoritative record.
