Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Hodgson, sitting alone, considered allegations across 14 categories of detrimental treatment by the respondent (a digital solutions company for the non-profit sector). The unfair dismissal claim was dismissed on withdrawal. All claims of direct discrimination on the grounds of sex and race, harassment, and victimisation were dismissed. The tribunal held that the claimant's reference during a grievance interview to being the only female and being younger did not constitute a protected act under s.27 EqA 2010, and that in any event no relevant decision-maker had any belief that she had done or might do a protected act. The tribunal found the dismissal was because of the claimant's inadequate engagement with her duties rather than any discriminatory or victimising reason. The tribunal also concluded it was not just and equitable to extend time for the historic allegations, given the claimant had not adequately explained the delay and the passage of time had affected the quality of evidence.

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.
