Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal recorded that the dismissal date was 18 July 2022. It found that Ms A Thomas was unfairly dismissed. It also found that her dismissal was direct race discrimination.
The judgment sent to the parties was an oral liability judgment recorded in writing. It does not set out written reasons for the findings, and it states that all remedy issues would be dealt with on Day 2, starting at 10am or as soon as possible thereafter.
No remedy figures are recorded in this decision. The judgment therefore captures liability only: unfair dismissal and direct race discrimination were upheld, with the amount of any award left to be determined separately.

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.
