Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The Tribunal struck out the unfair dismissal complaint because the Claimant had not been employed for two years or more. It dismissed the complaints of direct race discrimination, failure to make reasonable adjustments for disability, and harassment related to sex as not well-founded.

The breach of contract complaint relating to notice pay was well-founded. The Respondent was ordered to pay GBP 1,209.64, representing the net notice pay the Claimant should have received after discounting notice pay actually received. The breach of contract complaints relating to bonuses and overtime were dismissed.

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.
