Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal at Cardiff, before Employment Judge Grubb, held that Mr Matthew Norman's claim for direct discrimination on the grounds of sex was well founded. The respondent was South Wales Fire and Rescue Service. The written record states only the outcome and remedy, without setting out further reasons because oral reasons were given at the hearing.
The tribunal ordered the respondent to pay Mr Norman £2,181.50 in total. That sum was broken down as £2,000 for injury to feelings and £181.50 interest. No separate basic award or compensatory award is recorded in the written decision.

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.
