Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claim was presented in the London East Employment Tribunals on 29 April 2024. The respondent failed to present a valid response on time, and the Employment Judge determined the claim under rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013. On that basis, the tribunal entered judgment without a contested hearing on liability.
The tribunal found that the complaint of automatically unfair dismissal for making a protected disclosure was well founded and succeeded. It also found that the complaints of harassment related to race, religion, and age were well founded and succeeded. The complaint of victimisation was also found well founded and succeeded.
The tribunal additionally found that the breach of contract complaint in relation to notice pay was well founded. The judgment records that the claim succeeded overall, but it did not determine the amount of compensation at this stage.
Remedy was not assessed in the liability judgment. The tribunal directed that the claimant's remedy would be determined at a Remedy Hearing listed for 12 February 2025.

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.
