Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMrs C Grainger brought a complaint of direct sex discrimination under section 13 Equality Act 2010 against Countrywide Estate Agents. Employment Judge Franey, sitting alone in Manchester on 15 January 2019, dismissed the complaint.
The tribunal held that the treatment complained of occurred during the 'protected period'. On that basis, section 13 did not apply because of section 18(7) Equality Act 2010. The judgment records that the reasons were given orally at the hearing and that written reasons would not be provided unless requested in time.

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.
