Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant, who is Turkish, brought a race discrimination claim under section 13 of the Equality Act 2010 about six matters spanning May 2016 to December 2022. He said he was treated less favourably when he was unsuccessful at interview for a Senior Duty Officer post in May 2016, when he began delivering gymnastics coaching in 2016 but did not receive promotion, when he was offered a Senior Sports Coach post in 2018 at grade 7 rather than grade 8, when he was told at a return-to-work meeting in November 2021 that repeated sports-related absences could affect sick pay, when he took on a health and safety representative role in June 2022 without promotion, and when his December 2022 resignation was not acknowledged for about three months.

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.
