Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant brought complaints of race discrimination, sex discrimination and victimisation against Burnley College. During the hearing she withdrew all allegations of direct sex discrimination and harassment related to sex, and those allegations were dismissed on withdrawal.
The tribunal dismissed the remaining complaints. It recorded that the allegations of direct race discrimination, harassment related to race and victimisation all failed. In the visible judgment text, the tribunal also recorded that it considered the respondent's witnesses to be reliable witnesses of fact, while treating the claimant's evidence as less reliable where it was inconsistent with documentary evidence or presented comments out of context.

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.
