Claimant v Keeley Travis Business Solutions Ltd
Outcome
Individual claims
This is a remedy hearing following a successful liability finding. The tribunal awarded injury to feelings of £16,500, past losses of £22,327, and applied a 20% ACAS uplift for the respondent's failure to follow procedures, indicating the claimant succeeded on discrimination claims at the earlier liability hearing.
Facts
This is a remedy hearing in a discrimination case. The claimant, Mr. P.R. Turpin, appeared in person while the respondent, Keeley Travis Business Solutions Ltd, was represented by counsel. The tribunal had previously found in favour of the claimant at a liability hearing. The injury to feelings arose from discriminatory acts occurring around October 2023.
Decision
The tribunal awarded the claimant total compensation of £47,254.86, comprising £16,500 for injury to feelings (middle Vento band), £22,327 in past losses, a 20% ACAS uplift for failure to follow procedures, interest on both components, and grossing up of £12,324.90 for tax purposes on the amount exceeding £30,000.
Practical note
Tribunals will apply ACAS uplifts to financial losses in discrimination cases where the respondent has failed to follow proper procedures, and will gross up awards to account for tax liability on compensation exceeding £30,000.
