Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal upheld the claimant's victimisation claim against the second respondent under section 27 Equality Act 2010. It found that he reduced or caused the first respondent to reduce the claimant's pay to £7.83 per hour from 3 August 2018, prevented the claimant from taking on the role of manager, and reduced or caused the first respondent to reduce the claimant's hours to nil from 10 September 2018.
The tribunal ordered the second respondent to pay the claimant £8,239.73 in respect of injury to feelings, inclusive of interest. It adjourned the issue of compensation for loss of earnings, and stated that this issue would be dismissed without further order if neither party applied for a hearing on that point by 31 December 2019.

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.
