Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Norris sat with Professor J Holgate and Ms R Rose. The tribunal unanimously held that the Claimant’s age-related harassment complaint had been presented out of time. It further decided that it would not be just and equitable to extend time for that complaint, so that claim did not proceed on the merits.
The tribunal also considered the Claimant’s race-related harassment complaint. It found that complaint was not well-founded. On that basis, the race-related harassment claim failed.
The judgment records that, following those findings, the claim was dismissed. No monetary remedy was awarded.

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.
