Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimants, Ms B Kokenyesi and Ms A Manczai, brought claims including unfair dismissal, discrimination on grounds of sexual orientation, failure to comply with the right to be accompanied, breach of contract, unauthorised deduction from wages, and unpaid holiday pay. The case was listed for a preliminary hearing on 26 September 2019 at Reading before Employment Judge Hawksworth. The respondent attended through counsel, Mr G Graham. The claimants did not attend and were not represented, after their former representative notified the tribunal the previous day that he was no longer acting for them.

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.
