Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal dismissed the complaints of discrimination because of race and discrimination because of religion following their withdrawal by the claimant.
The tribunal found that the claimant was unfairly dismissed and that his complaint under section 111 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 was well-founded. The judgment records that reasons were given orally and does not set out the detailed reasoning.
On remedy issues, the tribunal found that the claimant's conduct before dismissal made it just and equitable to reduce any basic award by two-thirds under section 122(2) ERA. It also found there was a two-thirds chance that the claimant would have been dismissed on 6 December 2023 had the respondent acted fairly, to be reflected in any compensatory award under section 123(1) ERA, but that no further compensatory award reduction under section 123(6) ERA would be just and equitable.

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.
