Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant, Mrs Jolanta Georgiou, was employed by the second respondent, Squiggles (Day Nursery) Ltd (in creditors' voluntary winding up). The case was heard at Norwich on 8-9 November 2022 by a tribunal comprising Judge Brian Doyle, Mrs Julie Costley and Mrs Lizzie Davies. The claimant was represented by her husband; the respondents were represented by Mrs Nicola Whitley, a director.
The tribunal held that the claimant's complaints of direct race discrimination were not well-founded. It also held that her complaints of harassment related to race were not well-founded. Those were the substantive findings on liability recorded in the judgment.
In addition, the tribunal found that the complaints relating to 24 September 2018, 6 November 2018 and 22 November 2018 were not presented in time under section 123 Equality Act 2010, and it was not just and equitable to extend time. The claim was therefore dismissed. No monetary award was recorded in the judgment.

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.
