Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal unanimously held that Ms O Gorton’s claim of unfair dismissal was well-founded and that she suffered unlawful age discrimination by TJ Crompton Limited. The written record states that oral reasons were given at the hearing in Manchester on 7 December 2020 and then summarises the orders made.
For the age discrimination claim, the Tribunal ordered the Respondent to pay £17,500 for injury to feelings and £856.01 for financial losses. It also awarded interest of £1,884.61 on the injury to feelings award under regulation 6(1)(a) of the Employment Tribunals (Interest on Awards in Discrimination Cases) Regulations 1996 and £45.55 on the financial losses award under regulation 6(1)(b).
The judgment also records a recoupment notice under the Employment Protection (Recoupment of Job Seeker’s Allowance and Income Support) Regulations 1996. It states a monetary award of £846.09, a prescribed element of £846.09, a period from 29 August 2019 to 30 September 2019, and no excess over the prescribed element. The claimant’s application for a preparation time order was refused.

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.
