Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal found no contravention of the Equality Act 2010 and dismissed the claimant's complaints of direct sex discrimination, sex-related harassment and victimisation. Those discrimination claims did not succeed on the facts found by the tribunal.
The tribunal upheld the claimant's wrongful dismissal claim against the first respondent and ordered payment of £25,000. It also upheld the unfair dismissal claim against the first respondent and awarded £30,999.
The unfair dismissal award comprised a basic award of £5,623.50 and a compensatory award of £25,375.50. The compensatory award covered loss of statutory rights and loss of net earnings, including bonuses, car allowance and pension contributions up to 1 May 2019. The tribunal applied a 50% reduction for contribution to both awards, and recorded that recoupment did not apply. The total payable by the first respondent was £55,999.

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.
