Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt the Watford Employment Tribunal hearing on 15-19 April 2024 before Employment Judge Young sitting with Ms J Hancock and Mr P Miller, the tribunal determined the claimant's race discrimination, race harassment and victimisation complaints. The only complaint found well founded was harassment related to race in respect of issue 7(i).
The tribunal dismissed the claimant's direct race discrimination complaints in respect of issues 4(b)-(e). The complaint of race discrimination in respect of issue 4(a) was withdrawn and dismissed. The claimant's harassment complaints under issues 7(b)-(h) were dismissed, and the harassment complaints under issues 7(a) and 7(j) were withdrawn and dismissed. The victimisation complaint was also dismissed.
The judgment recorded that directions for a remedies hearing would be made in due course. No remedy figure was recorded in this decision.

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.
