Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal upheld Mr D Bovekamp's direct age discrimination claim at paragraph 2.2.2 of the agreed list of issues under sections 13 and 39(2)(d) of the Equality Act 2010. It also found that this claim had been presented within a just and equitable period under section 123(2)(b) of the Act.
All other claims were dismissed as not well founded. These comprised the remaining direct age discrimination claims, direct race discrimination, harassment related to age and race, victimisation, unauthorised deductions from wages and breach of contract.
Cawsburger Ltd was ordered to pay Mr Bovekamp £2,625 within 28 days. This consisted of £2,000 for injury to feelings, a £200 uplift for unreasonable failure to comply with the ACAS Code of Practice and £425 interest calculated at 8% from the date of discrimination.

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.
