Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMs M Kulikowska brought claims against Omni Support Group Ltd in cases 1401298/2024 and 1400485/2025, heard in Bristol on 26, 27 and 28 August 2025 before Employment Judge Oliver Representation. The tribunal held that the complaint of harassment related to race in case 1401298/2024 was well-founded and succeeded.
In case 1400485/2025, the tribunal found the victimisation complaint well-founded only in relation to the Respondent's refusal to provide a reference on 10 December 2024. The remaining victimisation complaints were not well founded and were dismissed.
The tribunal also found that the complaints of detriment for making a protected disclosure were presented within time and were well-founded only in relation to the Respondent's refusal to provide a reference on 23 September 2024 and 10 December 2024. The remaining protected disclosure detriment complaint was dismissed.
On remedy, the tribunal held that the Respondent unreasonably failed to comply with the ACAS Code of Practice on Disciplinary and Grievance Procedures 2015 and increased the compensation payable by 15% under s.207A of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992. It also found there should be no reduction for contribution or for lack of good faith in relation to the protected disclosures. The written judgment does not state the underlying compensation figures or any final monetary total.

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.
