Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant brought claims of direct race discrimination, direct age discrimination, failure to make reasonable adjustments, and victimisation. The Tribunal dismissed all claims.
For race and age discrimination, the Tribunal found that some alleged treatment had not occurred, had not occurred in the way alleged, or was explained by non-discriminatory reasons. It also found that the claimant had not been demoted and that several allegations lacked evidence or did not compare like with like.
For reasonable adjustments, the Tribunal noted that no PCP or substantial disadvantage had been clearly pleaded and that the claimant conceded in cross-examination that reasonable adjustments had been made. For victimisation, the Tribunal accepted that the grievance was a protected act but found the allegations unsubstantiated and dismissed them.

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.
