Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant brought a single claim of direct sex discrimination under section 13 Equality Act 2010 arising from her dismissal after the incident with Mr Gianluca Rossi on 18 April 2018 and the subsequent disciplinary process. The tribunal identified the central questions as whether she had been treated less favourably than others, and if so whether that treatment was because of sex. It considered both an actual comparator, Mr Rossi, and a hypothetical comparator.

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. See full methodology.
