It upheld complaints of harassment related to sexual orientation by Miss Dragneva and Miss Eley, harassment related to sex by Miss Eley, sexual harassment by Miss Dragneva and Miss Eley, and racial harassment by Mr Brown and Miss Chaouli.

Mr Enache's complaints of unauthorised deductions from wages for holiday pay and sick pay were upheld, and the First Respondent was ordered to pay him a gross sum of GBP 1,964. The judgment stated that the remedy hearing would continue on 17 October 2024.

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.
