Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The Tribunal, sitting at Bristol on 8 April 2024 before Employment Judge G. King with members S. Maidment and H. Launder, considered a claim brought by the Claimant against the Respondent, who did not attend. The Tribunal made an anonymisation order under rule 50 of the Employment Tribunal Rules of Procedure 2013 (together with articles 8 and 10 ECHR, s.1 of the Sexual Offences (Amendment) Act 1992 and s.11 of the Employment Tribunals Act 1996), directing that identifying matter be removed from documents on the public record.

The Tribunal found that the Claimant's claim of discrimination on the grounds of sex pursuant to s.26 of the Equality Act 2010 was well founded and succeeded. The Respondent was ordered to pay £20,000.00, together with interest at 8% for the period 18 April 2022 to 8 April 2024 in the sum of £3,163.75, giving a total of £23,163.75.

In addition, pursuant to rule 75 of the Employment Tribunal Rules of Procedure 2013, the Tribunal made a Preparation Time Order in favour of the Claimant (who acted in person) in the sum of £2,277.33. Written reasons were not provided as reasons were given orally at the hearing and no written request was recorded in this document.

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.
