Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMr C Bird’s claim for harassment on the grounds of age succeeded in part. The tribunal awarded £990 for injury to feelings and £89.36 in interest, making £1,079.36 in respect of that claim.
The complaint about holiday carried over from the October 2020 to April 2021 leave year, said to be due to the Covid-19 pandemic, was not well founded and did not succeed. A separate complaint about holiday for the period 1 April 2021 to 18 March 2022 succeeded, and the tribunal awarded £1,810 gross, calculated at 18.1 days at £100 per day.
The tribunal also found that the Respondent had made unauthorised deductions from wages in respect of one week’s pay from 11 March 2022 to 18 March 2022. It awarded £500 gross for that deduction, subject to deductions for tax and national insurance. The judgment was given orally at the hearing, so no written reasons were provided in the extracted text.

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.
