Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal sitting at Birmingham by CVP before Employment Judge N. Clarke, with Mr P. Simpson and Mr D. Sagar, granted the Claimant permission to amend his claim to add the claims identified at paragraphs 2.2.1 and 3.1.2 of Judge Wedderspoon’s order of 12 December 2023, treating them as presented on 15 October 2024.
It then held that the claims of direct sexual orientation discrimination and harassment related to sexual orientation were not well-founded. Both claims were dismissed. The judgment does not record any monetary award or other remedy.

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.
