Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal dismissed the claimant's complaint that the second respondent's statement 'push up' to the claimant on 11 October 2019 amounted to harassment. It found that the separate harassment complaints brought under section 26 of the Equality Act 2010 did succeed against both respondents.
The tribunal also upheld the claimant's complaint that his dismissal was direct discrimination contrary to section 13 of the Equality Act 2010. The judgment records that this discrimination finding was made against both the first respondent, Brown Sugar Bakery Limited (in voluntary liquidation), and the second respondent, Mr G Dabliz.
Remedy was awarded in the total sum of £23,632.68. The award comprised financial losses of £4,680 with interest of £405.17, and injury to feelings of £15,810 with interest of £2,737.51.
The written record notes that the total award shown at the hearing was corrected under rule 69 to reflect an arithmetical error in the calculation of interest on injury to feelings.

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.
