Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a Rule 21 judgment on liability only. The respondent stated in its response that it did not intend to resist the claim, and Employment Judge Johnson recorded that Mr K Pentland's complaint of unlawful discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation was well-founded and succeeded.
The judgment did not determine remedy. It directed that the private preliminary hearing listed for 15 May 2020 would be converted to a private preliminary hearing by telephone, at which case management orders would be made about what, if any, remedy should be awarded to the claimant.

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.
