Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMr K Stephenson was a part-time worker who was offered the role of Control and Restraint Instructor at HMP Wealstun on 21 March 2019. The Respondent later withdrew the offer, but reversed that decision on 4 February 2020 after the Claimant issued a grievance, which was upheld on appeal.
The Tribunal recorded by consent that, in withdrawing the job offer and preventing the Claimant from taking up the role, the Respondent was in breach of Regulation 5 of the Part-Time Workers (Prevention of Less Favourable Treatment) Regulations 2020. The judgment does not record any disputed factual findings or a contested liability analysis.
The Claimant sought no further remedy, and the proceedings were brought to an end on that basis. 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.
