“An employment tribunal had no jurisdiction to enforce a discrimination compensation award it made to an employee; however, if the employee had entered a county court judgment on the award and the employer still failed to pay the money, then the employment tribunal could link the failure to post-employment discrimination and victimisation in order to assume jurisdiction to enforce the judgment.”
