Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claim was issued on 25 August 2022. The judgment records that Norfolk Fire and Rescue Service failed to present a valid response on time, so the Employment Judge decided that a determination could properly be made under Rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013.
The claim succeeded. The judgment does not set out the underlying factual or legal basis for liability beyond the Rule 21 default judgment and therefore does not contain substantive findings on the discrimination allegations themselves.
Remedy was not decided in this judgment. The tribunal directed that the remedy to which Mr D Cooper is entitled will be determined at a separate Remedy Hearing.

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.
