Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal dealt only with a complaint of race discrimination brought by J Penalva against Leeds Beckett University. On 5 September 2023, the Tribunal made a deposit order requiring the claimant to pay a deposit in order to continue pursuing the complaint, because it considered the claim had little reasonable prospect of success.
The claimant did not pay the deposit by the due date. As a result, the Tribunal struck out the complaint of race discrimination. No substantive determination of the discrimination allegations was made and no monetary award was recorded.

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.
