Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal dismissed the claimant’s complaints of less favourable treatment because of race and because of disability, stating that both complaints were dismissed upon withdrawal. The written judgment does not record any substantive liability findings beyond that disposal, and it notes that oral judgment was given at the hearing and written reasons would not be provided unless requested.
The respondent’s application for costs succeeded, and the claimant was ordered to pay £10,000 as a contribution to the respondent’s costs. No other monetary remedy is recorded in the judgment.

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.
