Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal, sitting alone at Liverpool on 1 October 2020, found that Mr B Haynes had been unlawfully discriminated against on the grounds of race. The judgment states that his claims for direct discrimination, harassment and victimisation were well-founded. It awarded £27,000 for injury to feelings and interest of £7,740.49 at 8% from 3 March 2016 to 1 October 2020, calculated over 1,308 days.
The tribunal also found that the claimant had been unfairly dismissed. It recorded that he was 54 at the effective date of termination and was on gross pay of £447.50 and net pay of £380 per week. The unfair dismissal award was £15,876.90, made up of a basic award of £2,013.75 and a compensatory award of £13,863.15, including loss of earnings from 19 January 2018 to 9 January 2020, pension loss of £182, loss of statutory rights of £500, and a 25% ACAS uplift of £2,772.63 for failure to comply with the relevant ACAS Code of Practice in relation to grievances and dismissal.

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.
