Respondent
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal found that the claimant was unfairly dismissed by the respondent.
It also found that the claimant was culpable of conduct which contributed to the dismissal. On that basis, the tribunal held it was just and equitable to reduce the compensatory award by 50%, and to reduce the basic award by 50% for the same pre-dismissal conduct.
The claimant's direct race discrimination claim was not established and was dismissed. The respondent was ordered to pay the agreed sums of £807 for the basic award and £10,000 for the compensatory award. The recoupment provisions did not apply.

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.
