Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal upheld the claimant's direct discrimination complaint only in relation to the rejection of his grievance appeal without a thorough and impartial investigation. The judgment framed that complaint as discrimination because of race and/or religion and belief under section 13 of the Equality Act 2010, and the tribunal awarded £3,000 for injury to feelings.
The tribunal held that the remaining discrimination complaints, so far as they concerned matters on or before 27 July 2019, were out of time under section 123 of the Equality Act 2010 and outside jurisdiction. The discrimination complaints about matters on or after 28 July 2019, other than the grievance-appeal complaint, were dismissed. The claimant's unlawful deduction from wages complaint under section 13 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 and his complaint of breach of regulation 12 of the Working Time Regulations 1998 were also 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.
