Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal unanimously found that both claimants were unfairly dismissed. It also found that both claimants’ compensatory awards for unfair dismissal were reduced to nil pursuant to the principles in Polkey v AE Dayton Services Ltd [1987] IRLR 503.
The first claimant’s complaint of direct race discrimination was dismissed. The second claimant’s complaints of direct sex discrimination, indirect sex discrimination, and marital status discrimination were also dismissed.

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.
