Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt Croydon on 27 September 2023, Employment Judge Siddall sat with Ms N Christofi and Ms C Oldfield. The Claimant appeared in person and there was no attendance or representation for the Respondent. The tribunal struck out the unfair dismissal claim because the Claimant did not have two years' continuous service.
The tribunal dismissed the direct religious discrimination claim and a harassment claim disposed of in the same paragraph of the judgment. It also dismissed the racial harassment claim. The direct race discrimination claim succeeded.
For the successful race discrimination claim, the tribunal awarded 13 weeks' loss of earnings of £4,926.74 and £3,000 for injury to feelings. It also applied a 10% uplift because the Respondent failed to comply with the ACAS Code of Practice on Grievance and Disciplinary Procedures and did not carry out a disciplinary hearing before dismissal, making a total award of £8,719.41.

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.
