Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal sat in Manchester before Employment Judge Ainscough and Ms L Hopley and heard the case over 23-25 November 2020 and 27-30 April 2021. In its unanimous judgment, the tribunal found that the claim of harassment of a sexual nature by the first respondent, under section 26(2) of the Equality Act 2010, was successful.
The tribunal dismissed the claim of harassment related to sex against the second respondent under section 26(1) of the Equality Act 2010. It also dismissed the claim of direct discrimination on the grounds of sex against both respondents under section 13 of the Equality Act 2010.
The tribunal upheld the claim of victimisation against the second respondent under section 27 of the Equality Act 2010. The extracted judgment does not record any monetary award or split remedy figure, and the written note states that oral reasons were given at the hearing and that written reasons would not be provided unless requested.

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.
