Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant brought claims of direct age discrimination, direct race discrimination, and harassment related to race arising from her employment as a Band 2 Health Care Assistant. The tribunal refused a late application to amend because similar matters had already been considered at a preliminary hearing, the allegations were not sufficiently particularised, and the balance of prejudice fell on the respondents.
The tribunal found that the allegations relied on for the discrimination and harassment claims were unsubstantiated. In relation to age, it found that Ms Skelton was not responsible for considering the claimant's flexible working applications, that the claimant was permitted to reduce her hours, and that evidence about alleged comments concerning the claimant's age and children was inconsistent.
The tribunal concluded that the first and second respondents did not breach the Equality Act 2010 as alleged. The claims for race discrimination, age discrimination, and harassment related to race were dismissed.

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.
