Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge G King found that the claimant's unfair dismissal claim succeeded on procedural grounds, but that he would have been dismissed in any event two weeks later, limiting any compensation accordingly. The harassment claim relating to race succeeded only in respect of a single text message that the claimant later became aware of, likely attracting a lower Vento band injury to feelings award.
The Tribunal dismissed the claims of direct race discrimination, direct age discrimination, harassment related to age, and unlawful deductions from wages. References to 'junior' were found to relate to the role rather than to age, and deductions from the claimant's final payslip arising from the inclusion and then deduction of a £6,000 commission advance were statutory deductions for tax, National Insurance and student loan repayments.
The Tribunal indicated that remedy should be capable of agreement between the parties without a further hearing. PDF text was truncated; some intermediate findings were not fully visible.
