Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt Southampton by video on 27 June 2023, Employment Judge Street gave an oral judgment in the absence of the Respondent. The judgment records that the claims for race discrimination, unauthorised deductions from wages and breach of contract succeeded, while the indirect discrimination claim was dismissed.
The tribunal ordered payment of £11,250 in respect of discrimination and £3,796.80 in respect of sums due and owing, making a total award of £15,046.80. The schedule itemises £9,000 for injury to feelings and £2,250 as an ACAS uplift, with the balance made up of notice pay, holiday pay, arrears of pay, a pension refund and failure to provide written particulars of employment.
The written record notes that the figure differed from the oral award because of an Excel spreadsheet entry that led to double counting of some figures. Written reasons were not provided in the record, which states that they would only be issued if requested within 14 days of the written judgment being sent.

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.
