Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal heard the case at Cambridge over hearing days in September and October 2024 and gave an oral judgment on 22 October 2024. The written record identifies three complaints: direct age discrimination, indirect age discrimination, and detriment for making a protected disclosure.
It held that each complaint was not well-founded and dismissed them all. The written decision does not set out the tribunal's full oral reasons, and it records only the dispositive outcomes for the three claims.
No monetary remedy was awarded and the written record contains no separate compensation calculation or total award.

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.
