Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant brought claims alleging unfair dismissal, wrongful dismissal and discrimination. The unfair dismissal claim was dismissed on withdrawal before the hearing. The remaining issues included direct discrimination and harassment said to relate to race, religion and age, although the tribunal noted that the claim was poorly pleaded and that a number of allegations in the list of issues had not appeared in the original claim form.
The tribunal dismissed all direct discrimination and harassment claims. In the reasons available in the prompt, it found that the respondent's actions were not related to a protected characteristic and that the respondent's approach to the grievance was not harassment.
The wrongful dismissal claim was also dismissed. The tribunal found no breach by the respondent of the implied term of mutual trust and confidence and therefore found that the claimant's resignation was not a dismissal. It also found that the claimant's recording and retention of confidential information amounted to serious and fundamental breaches of contract, but did not need to decide the respondent's allegation of dishonesty.

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.
