Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal at Pontypridd, before Employment Judge R F Powell with Ms S Hurds and Ms C Lovell, issued a unanimous judgment on 15 November 2018. It dismissed the claims brought under sections 18 and 19 of the Equality Act 2010 as not well founded, and also dismissed the claims for unlawful deductions from wages in respect of salary and pension contributions.
The tribunal found that the claim for an unlawful deduction in respect of notice pay was well founded in part and ordered the respondent to pay £1,226.96 gross. It also recorded, on the respondent's admission, that the breach of contract claim for unpaid expenses was well founded and ordered damages of £191.60 gross.
The supplied text then states that the claim under section 19 of the Equality Act 2010 was well founded and that the claim under section 26 of the Equality Act 2010 was well founded. The order is internally inconsistent because paragraph (1) also says the section 18 and 19 claims were dismissed; the later explicit finding on section 19 is noted here, but no separate remedy is stated in the supplied judgment text for the Equality Act findings.

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.
