Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant brought harassment complaints relating to race and religion or belief arising from her employment as a Senior Carer at Fairway Care Home. At the outset of the hearing, the claimant's representative confirmed that the religion or belief harassment allegation was withdrawn.
The Tribunal found that all of the race harassment complaints were brought out of time and that it was not just and equitable to extend time. It accepted that the alleged conduct was unwanted, but did not find that any of the allegations were related to the claimant's race.
On the merits, the Tribunal found that the claimant was not forced to carry out carer or cleaner duties, that her name was abbreviated rather than misspelt, that the qualifications allegation was not sufficiently clear, that the lunch incident arose from Covid cleaning procedures, and that the trolley incident did not occur as alleged. The complaints were dismissed.

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.
