Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe case was heard in public in person at London South Croydon on 13-15 February 2024 before Employment Judge Tsamados, sitting with Ms S Dengate and Ms E Thompson. Ms Kuwana represented herself and the respondent was represented by Mr M Ramsbottom, Senior Litigation Consultant.
The tribunal unanimously held that the complaints of harassment related to race and sex, direct sex discrimination, victimisation, and unauthorised deductions from wages/damages for breach of contract were not well-founded. The claim was dismissed in full.
The written record states that reasons for the judgment were given orally at the hearing. It also states that written reasons would not be provided unless requested in accordance with the note on the judgment. No remedy was awarded.

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.
