Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt Watford by video on 12 February 2025, Employment Judge C H O'Rourke upheld Mrs Ajoke Olawumi Adeyeye's claims of direct race discrimination and unlawful deductions from wages against Pierpoint International (UK) Limited, which did not attend or have representation. The written record states that the judgment was given orally and that written reasons would not be provided unless requested.
The judgment stated that the respondent directly racially discriminated against the claimant, made unlawful deductions from her wages, and failed to pay arrears of holiday pay and notice pay. The remedy schedule then set out the amounts awarded for each head of loss.
For the discrimination element, the tribunal awarded £7,087.08 for six months' loss of earnings from 26 March 2024 to 25 September 2024, with £142.60 interest, and £5,000 for injury to feelings, with £356.40 interest. For the wage-related element, the schedule awarded £1,221.25, £123.03 for accrued holiday pay, and £263.94 for one week's pay in lieu of notice.
The grand total awarded was £14,194.30.

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.
