Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt the video hearing on 21 July 2023 before Employment Judge Smail, with Mr L. Wakeman and Mr N. Thornback sitting as lay members, the tribunal gave full oral reasons at the conclusion of the hearing. The written document is a costs judgment dated 26 July 2023 and sent to the parties on 10 August 2023.
The tribunal ordered the claimant to pay £500 towards the respondent's preparation time costs. It directed that the sum could be paid in full within 14 days of the judgment being sent, or by instalments of £50 per month payable on the first of each month, with the first payment due on 1 August 2023.
If a monthly instalment was missed, the remaining balance became payable forthwith. No substantive merits findings, legal tests, or discrimination characteristics are recorded in the extracted text of this costs 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.
