Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMs Gabriella James brought claims against LB Group Limited heard at East London Hearing Centre on 16-18 August 2023 and 14 September 2023. The tribunal recorded that the direct race discrimination and harassment claims were presented out of time, but it was just and equitable to allow those claims to proceed.
The tribunal then found that the respondent discriminated against the claimant on the ground of race, harassed her on the ground of race, and victimised her on the ground of race. No separate split of liability or compensation by claim is given in the judgment, so the awards are recorded as a single combined remedy figure.
The tribunal ordered the respondent to pay a total of £40,129.24. That sum comprised past losses of £3,439.65, made up of loss of basic salary of £2,658.03, loss of statutory rights of £300, and loss of employer pension contributions of £481.62; injury to feelings of £22,000; personal injury of £10,000; and interest under the Employment Tribunals (Interest on Awards in Discrimination Cases) Regulations 1996 of £280.83 on past losses, £3,592.33 on injury to feelings, and £816.44 on personal injury.

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.
