Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant, Mr S Broadist, brought claims against HM Prison Service and the respondent did not attend, no response having been received. Employment Judge Phil Allen held that the claimant was discriminated against in relation to age contrary to section 19 Equality Act 2010, that he was treated less favourably as a part-time worker contrary to regulation 5 of the Part-Time Workers (Prevention of Less Favourable Treatment) Regulations 2000, that the respondent fundamentally breached his contract of employment, and that he was unfairly dismissed in an unfair (constructive) dismissal claim.
The tribunal ordered £10,426 as damages for breach of contract in respect of notice and £14,700 as a gross basic award for unfair dismissal. It then ordered £69,901.80 as compensation for age discrimination. The judgment records that this discrimination award was made up of £10,000 for injury to feelings, £6,445 for losses incurred prior to dismissal, £14,944 for losses between dismissal and the hearing, £37,585 for future loss grossed up, and interest of £429.67 and £498.13 on the two loss elements.
No additional award was made in respect of the unfair dismissal compensatory award or the part-time worker claim. The judgment therefore records the age discrimination award and the basic award as the only further monetary sums beyond the notice damages for breach of contract, with the total award stated as £95,027.80.

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.
