Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningBy consent, the tribunal ordered that Lanes Group Plc directly discriminated against Samuel Hillary on grounds of age, contrary to section 39(2) of the Equality Act 2010. The judgment does not record disputed findings on liability because the order was made by consent.
The tribunal ordered the respondent to pay £36,000 as compensation for lost earnings and injury to feelings. The judgment states that the claimant received no relevant benefits, so the recoupment regulations did not apply to any part of that sum.

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.
