Mrs A Riley v The Lighthouse Federation and Governing Body of Moorcroft Primary School (England and Wales : Age Discrimination) [2025] UKET 1307768/2023 (24 June 2025)

The Tribunal found that the claimant had established a prima facie case of age discrimination and the respondents failed to provide a credible non-discriminatory reason for dismissal. The dismissal was therefore both discriminatory and unfair.
