Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal heard the case at Reading on 9 and 10 December 2019 before Employment Judge Finlay, sitting with Mrs RA Watts-Davies and Ms HT Edwards. Mr B Hammerlindl did not attend or represent himself. Vodafone Group Services Limited was represented by Mr W Ho, solicitor. The judgment records that Vodafone Group Services Limited was the correct name of the respondent.
The tribunal gave a unanimous judgment dismissing the claimant’s complaints of unfair dismissal, direct race discrimination and breach of contract. The written record states that the reasons were given orally at the hearing, so no written reasons were provided in the published decision. No monetary award was recorded.

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.
