Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal rejected the Claimant’s age discrimination complaint arising from her dismissal by reason of redundancy with effect from 23 April 2020. It held that the Respondent had not contravened section 39 of the Equality Act 2010 in relation to that dismissal.
It also rejected the Claimant’s complaint of age-related harassment. The tribunal held that the Respondent had not contravened section 40 of the Equality Act 2010 by harassing the Claimant related to her age during a meeting with Dr A Mason on 23 March 2020.
The unfair dismissal complaint succeeded. The tribunal found that the Claimant was unfairly dismissed and described that complaint as well-founded. It awarded a basic award of £446.19 and a compensatory award of £882.75, making a total award of £1,328.94.
The tribunal recorded that the Employment Protection (Recoupment of Benefits) Regulations 1996 did not apply. It also granted the Claimant’s application for a preparation time order and ordered the Respondent to pay £304. The sums awarded were payable within 14 days of the date of the judgment.

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.
