Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The tribunal unanimously dismissed Ms Johnson's direct age discrimination complaints, finding that they were not well-founded. It also dismissed the complaint of unfair constructive dismissal, again on the basis that it was not well-founded.

One direct race discrimination complaint succeeded. This was the complaint about the meeting where the claimant's invitation was cancelled and she was not invited to the rescheduled meeting. The tribunal found that complaint well founded and said it had been presented outside the applicable time limit, but that it was just and equitable to extend time.

The remaining direct race discrimination complaints were dismissed as not well-founded. The judgment does not record any monetary remedy, so no award is extracted from this decision.

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.
