Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal dismissed the claims for direct race discrimination and harassment by reason of race on the Respondent's application under Rule 38(1)(a) and (c) of the Employment Tribunal Rules of Procedure 2024. The judgment states that the Claimant had not complied with an order of the Tribunal and that these claims had no reasonable prospect of success.
The Tribunal also dismissed the Claimant's claim that he had been subjected to detriments under s.47B Employment Rights Act 1996 because he had made two qualifying protected disclosures as defined by s.43B. The written record states that oral reasons were given at the hearing and that written reasons would not be provided unless requested within the stated time limit.

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.
