Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The case was heard remotely by CVP at London Central over 26 to 29 October 2021 before Employment Judge P Klimov sitting with Mrs C. Buckland and Mr P. de Chaumont-Rambert. The judgment records that the hearing was not held face to face because of Coronavirus pandemic restrictions and that all issues could be determined remotely.

In the written judgment, the tribunal dismissed the claimant's direct race discrimination claim under section 13 of the Equality Act 2010. It also recorded that the harassment claim under section 26 of the Equality Act 2010 was dismissed upon withdrawal.

The claimant's unfair dismissal claim was also dismissed. The short written record does not set out the tribunal's factual reasoning or any remedy findings, and it notes that reasons were given orally at the hearing with written reasons not to be provided unless requested.

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.
