Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal, sitting at Watford on 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 February 2024, recorded an oral judgment given on 9 February 2024. In the written record, the tribunal found that Mrs Catherine Sealy’s claim for unfair dismissal was well founded and successful.
The tribunal also found that the claimant’s claim for direct discrimination on the grounds of age was not well founded and was unsuccessful. The written decision does not set out the oral reasons in detail, and it records that written reasons would not be provided unless requested within 14 days of the sending of the written record.

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.
