Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The Tribunal recorded that the claimant brought complaints of direct sex discrimination against the Ministry of Defence. The complaints relating to RNFT Warnings and the discharge decision were found to be out of time and were dismissed for want of jurisdiction.

The Tribunal also determined that the claimant's complaint of direct sex discrimination in relation to his discharge was not well founded and dismissed it. The written judgment records that reasons were given orally at the hearing and does not set out further factual findings or reasoning.

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.
