Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal at Bristol, sitting by VHS on 15, 16, 17 and 18 November 2021 before Employment Judge M Street with members Mrs M Metcalfe and Mr M Cronin, found that the unfair dismissal claim succeeded and that the claimant was unfairly dismissed. It also found that the claim in respect of unlawful direct discrimination on the grounds of age succeeded.
The judgment records an award of £10,000.00 in respect of unfair dismissal, made by consent. In relation to the age discrimination claim, the tribunal awarded £6,000.00 in respect of dismissal on the grounds of age and £7,000.00 in respect of detriment on the grounds of age, with the detriment element recorded as having been decided by a majority.
The tribunal ordered the respondent to pay the claimant £24,926.14 in total in respect of the unfair dismissal and unlawful discrimination. That total comprised the £10,000.00 unfair dismissal payment, the £13,000.00 discrimination award, and £1,926.14 interest on the discrimination award. The judgment states that recoupment does not apply and that written reasons would not be provided unless requested within 14 days.

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.
