Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

Mr Davies brought claims for race harassment, direct race discrimination, automatic unfair dismissal, breach of contract, and unauthorised deductions of wages against GEO Speciality Chemicals UK Limited. The tribunal recorded that the claim was within time on a just and equitable basis.

The harassment claim on the grounds of race was not well founded and did not succeed. The complaint of automatic unfair dismissal was also found not well founded and did not succeed.

The claim for direct discrimination succeeded in part, but only to the extent that it concerned a failure to pay 100% of Mr Davies's pay. The breach of contract and unauthorised deductions of wages complaints were not made within time, and the tribunal did not extend time. The extracted judgment does not record any monetary award.

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.
