Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claim was heard at Appearances Reading over 2 to 5 June 2025 before Employment Judge Gumbiti-Zimuto, sitting with Mrs M Harris and Mr P Miller. Mr M Cole appeared in person and Micro Focus Software UK Limited was represented by counsel. The tribunal recorded that the claimant’s complaints of unfair dismissal and age discrimination were not well founded and were dismissed.
The written judgment record does not contain detailed reasons beyond that outcome. It states that reasons were given orally at the hearing and that written reasons would not be provided unless requested in accordance with the tribunal’s note. No monetary award is recorded in the 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.
