Readdle Labs Ltd

Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The tribunal, sitting under Rule 21, found that the respondent unlawfully harassed the claimant related to race contrary to section 26 of the Equality Act 2010. It also found that the respondent treated the claimant less favourably because of race contrary to section 13 of the Equality Act 2010.

Both claims succeeded. The judgment records that the remedy to which the claimant is entitled will be determined at a separate Remedy Hearing, so no financial award is set out in this judgment.

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.
