Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt Manchester on 10 and 11 November 2020, Employment Judge Phil Allen, sitting with Mr S Hussain and Mrs M Conlon, heard Dr M Shamsian's claim against Manchester Metropolitan University. The tribunal unanimously found that he was not treated less favourably than his identified comparator because of age.
On that basis, the age discrimination claim did not succeed and was dismissed. The written record states that 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.
