Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAn Employment Tribunal sitting at Birmingham before Employment Judge Gaskell and members Mrs E Shenton and Mrs J Whitehill gave a unanimous judgment dismissing the claimant's Equality Act complaints. The tribunal found that the respondent did not, at any time material to the claim, act in contravention of section 39 of the Equality Act 2010, so the claimant's complaints of direct discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation and victimisation were dismissed.
The tribunal also found that the respondent did not, at any time material to the claim, act in contravention of section 40 of the Equality Act 2010, so the claimant's complaint of harassment on the grounds of sexual orientation was dismissed. Separately, the tribunal held that the claimant's claim under section 11 of the Employment Relations Act 1999 was not well-founded and was dismissed.
The tribunal ordered the claimant to pay a contribution towards the respondent's costs, summarily assessed at £3,000. No substantive compensation, injury to feelings award, or other merits-based monetary remedy was recorded in 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.
