Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal, sitting at Birmingham with Employment Judge Algazy QC and members Mr J. Wagstaffe and Ms J. Keene, heard the matter on 17-20 August 2020. It held unanimously that the unfair dismissal claim failed and was dismissed.
The tribunal also dismissed the claimant's age discrimination claims. The judgment records both a claim of direct discrimination because of age and a claim of indirect discrimination in relation to age, and both failed.
A further claim concerning accrual of holiday pay during the claimant's notice period was dismissed upon withdrawal by the claimant. Oral reasons were given on 20 August 2020.

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.
