Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal, sitting at Manchester before Employment Judge Mark Butler with Mr I Frame and Mr ST Anslow, dismissed the claimant's direct race discrimination claims. It found that the claimant was entitled to 8 days of unpaid holiday pay and awarded £769.23 gross, calculated as £25,000 per year divided by 260 working days multiplied by 8.
The tribunal also upheld the claimant's breach of contract claim for unpaid wages covering three weeks and awarded £1,153.84 gross, calculated from monthly furlough pay of £1,666.66. The judgment states that statutory deductions from source would need to be made from the gross sums awarded.
The claimant's breach of contract claim relating to a bonus payment was not entertained on the merits because it was brought out of time. The tribunal found that the claimant had not shown that it was not reasonably practicable to bring the claim within time, so it held that it lacked jurisdiction over that part of the claim and dismissed it.

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.
