Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal unanimously found that the claimant's complaint of constructive unfair dismissal was well-founded. It awarded £12,061.40 as a basic award and £8,450.19 as a compensatory award, making £20,511.59 on that claim.
The claimant's direct race discrimination claim was dismissed. The judgment records that this complaint was not well-founded.
The tribunal also upheld a complaint of unauthorised deduction from wages in respect of holiday pay between October 2020 and November 2020, and ordered payment of £157.27, subject to the stated deductions. The remaining claims for arrears of pay and breach of contract were 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.
