Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal unanimously rejected Mr K Waghat's constructive unfair dismissal complaint and also dismissed the separate unfair dismissal complaint. It found the constructive dismissal complaint was not well-founded. The breach of contract complaint in relation to notice pay was also dismissed.
The tribunal dismissed the harassment complaints related to race and sex. It also held that it did not have jurisdiction to determine the complaints of direct race and/or sex discrimination arising from a comment made and events of September 2019 because those complaints were not brought within the required time and were not brought within such period as the tribunal found to be just and equitable.
The remaining direct race discrimination and direct sex discrimination complaints were found not well-founded and dismissed. No monetary 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.
