Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt Cambridge on 21 March 2022, a tribunal comprising Employment Judge K Welch, Mr D Snashall and Mr J Williams unanimously found that Mrs K Swanepoel’s claims of direct race discrimination and direct age discrimination under section 13 Equality Act 2010 were well founded. The respondent did not attend the hearing.
The tribunal dismissed any claim for failure to collectively consult in respect of the claimant’s redundancy.
The respondent was ordered to pay £13,977.22 in total. The award comprised £8,000 for injury to feelings and £5,063.38 for loss of earnings. The judgment states that loss of earnings ran from 1 September 2020 to 1 April 2023 and that recoupment provisions applied, with a prescribed element of £913.84 and an immediate balance of £13,063.38.

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.
