Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The tribunal, sitting with Employment Judge Smith and lay members G Brewer and P Fallow, gave a unanimous judgment on 9 February 2022 in favour of the claimant on two claims. It declared that in dismissing her, the respondent unlawfully discriminated against her because of age, and it found that her direct discrimination claim under section 13 of the Equality Act 2010 succeeded.

The claimant's unfair dismissal claim, pleaded under section 104 of the Employment Rights Act 1996, was found not well-founded and was dismissed. The tribunal also found that the claimant's wrongful dismissal claim succeeded.

The judgment did not determine remedy. It recorded that matters relating to remedy were adjourned to 7 March 2022 at 10am, with a time estimate of three hours. Written reasons were not provided in the judgment because reasons had been given orally at the hearing.

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.
