Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal unanimously dismissed the claim for disability-related harassment, stating that it was not well-founded. No written reasons are included in the judgment text.
The tribunal dismissed the unauthorised deductions claim concerning paid special leave as out of time. For the unauthorised deductions claims where the respondent conceded liability, the respondent was ordered to pay the claimant a gross sum of £103.50, calculated as 7.5 hours at £13.75 per hour, subject to accounting to HMRC for tax and national insurance contributions.
The tribunal dismissed the remaining unauthorised deductions claims following the claimant's withdrawal.

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.
