Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Ahmed sat alone remotely at Leicester on 27 February 2023. The First Respondent had not entered a Response in time and no extension had been sought or granted, so the Claimant's claims against the First Respondent were upheld under Rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013. The claim against the Second Respondent was withdrawn and dismissed.
The schedule recorded compensation for automatic unfair dismissal of £24,615.78, made up of loss of earnings of £16,425.52 and future loss of earnings of £8,190.26. It also recorded injury to feelings of £10,000 and interest of £547.50, giving a total award of £35,163.28 against the First Respondent.
The recoupment regulations did not apply, and the hearing listed for 5 to 7 February 2024 was cancelled. The extracted text does not apportion the £10,000 injury to feelings figure between the discrimination claims.

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.
