Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a Rule 21 default judgment in which no response had been presented. Employment Judge Elgot was satisfied that a determination of the claims could properly be made on the material before the tribunal.
The tribunal recorded that the claims of race discrimination and disability discrimination succeeded. The respondent was not present or represented at the hearing on 5 December 2019.
No remedy was determined in this judgment. The tribunal directed that a separate remedy hearing of three hours should take place on 22 January 2020 at East London Hearing Centre, and that the respondent would only be entitled to participate to the extent permitted by the judge.

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.
