Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe unanimous Tribunal upheld the claimant's claims of unfair dismissal, wrongful dismissal, holiday pay (in respect of October-December 2022 only) and unlawful deductions from wages (sick pay due in August 2022, December 2022 wages, and payment at the incorrect scale point from January 2023). Her claims of whistleblowing detriment, direct race discrimination, race-related harassment and victimisation under the Equality Act 2010 failed and were dismissed.
On remedy, the Tribunal refused reinstatement but ordered re-engagement on specified terms (the role of Resettlement Housing Officer at BG10, SCP 26, with the rights and benefits normally due to a five-year employee). A basic award of £2,569.50 was ordered for unfair dismissal. The parties agreed an additional net sum of £13,207.81 in respect of all successful claims (including back pay relevant to the re-engagement order). The Recoupment Regulations did not apply.

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.
