Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe case was heard at Cardiff on 20, 21, 22, 23 and 24 May 2024 before Employment Judge Cawthray, with Mr. M Lewis and Mrs. M Humphries as lay members. The tribunal first dealt with harassment complaints identified as 2.1.2, 2.1.3 and 2.1.4 in the List of Issues and Case Summary dated 6 December 2023. It found those complaints were not presented within the applicable time limit and that it was not just and equitable to extend time, so they were dismissed.
On the merits, the tribunal dismissed the claimant’s complaints of direct race discrimination, harassment related to race, victimisation, and unauthorised deductions from wages. Each was found not well-founded. The written record notes that the judgment was given orally at the hearing, with no written reasons to follow unless requested in accordance with the note attached to the judgment.
No monetary award was recorded in the 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.
