Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant, an Asian/Pakistani paramedic employed by the respondent, brought complaints of direct race discrimination, victimisation, less favourable treatment on grounds of part-time worker status, and a claim under section 10 Employment Relations Act 1999. During the hearing he withdrew the part-time worker complaint, one section 10 allegation, and a number of discrimination and victimisation allegations.
The tribunal dismissed the remaining direct race discrimination complaint. It found that the respondent's handling of some matters was flawed or unreasonable, but that the evidence did not establish that the remaining race discrimination allegation was because of race.
The tribunal upheld victimisation allegations 4.2.16 and 4.2.17. It found that delay in dealing with the claimant's complaint about his subject access request, and the non-disclosure of three emails, amounted to detrimental treatment because of protected acts. The other live victimisation allegations and the remaining section 10 complaint were dismissed.

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.
