Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal, sitting at Watford before Employment Judge McNeill QC with members Mr Dykes and Mr Bhatti, heard the case over 24 to 28 August 2020. It upheld the Claimant's direct race discrimination complaints in relation to paragraphs 2c, 2g, 2j and 2k of the agreed List of Issues, and declared that the Respondent discriminated against him because of race in those matters.
All other direct race discrimination complaints were dismissed. The tribunal also upheld the Claimant's harassment claim related to race. The Claimant's victimisation claim was dismissed.
For the claims that succeeded, the tribunal awarded £26,000 for injury to feelings and £4,888.73 interest, making a total award of £30,888.73 payable by the Respondent. The judgment does not split the monetary award between the individual upheld claims.

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.
