Serco Limited

Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The judgment records that the claimant withdrew his complaint of unlawful discrimination on grounds of race by email sent to the Tribunal on 7 December 2020 and copied to the respondents' representative. That part of the claim was dismissed under Rule 52 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure.

The judgment states that the remaining complaints, namely unfair dismissal, direct disability discrimination, discrimination arising from disability, failure to make reasonable adjustments, and unlawful deduction of wages, were unaffected by the part-withdrawal and would proceed as separately ordered by the Tribunal.

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.
