Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal heard the claim at Reading on 22, 23, 24 and 25 October 2024 before Employment Judge Gumbiti-Zimuto, sitting with members Ms C Anderson and Ms HT Edwards. The claimant appeared in person and the respondent was represented by counsel.
The judgment records a single outcome: the claimant's complaints of direct race discrimination were not well founded and were dismissed. The written judgment does not set out the tribunal's detailed reasoning, noting that reasons were given orally at the hearing and that written reasons would only be provided if requested within the applicable time limit.

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.
