Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal held that the claim against the second respondent had not been presented in time, but it was just and equitable to extend time, so the claim against him could proceed. It then found that the first and second respondents unlawfully discriminated against Ms Bethany Griffiths-Jones contrary to sections 15, 20-21 and 39(2) and (5) of the Equality Act 2010.
The judgment records that the claimant’s discrimination claim succeeded in full. The tribunal ordered the respondents to pay compensation of £18,464.62, described as inclusive of loss of earnings, injury to feelings, aggravated damages, an uplift and interest. No separate breakdown of the award is given in the written record.
The decision was given orally at the hearing, and the written record states that written reasons will not be provided unless requested in time. The tribunal’s published record therefore contains the outcome, the statutory provisions relied on, and the total award, but not a fuller narrative of the factual findings or the calculation of each component.

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.
