Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt the final merits hearing in Birmingham on 1 to 4 September 2020, before Employment Judge Perry with members Mrs W Ellis and Mr P Talbot, the tribunal dismissed the claimant's disability discrimination complaints. The judgment records that the claimant was not discriminated against contrary to Part 5 Equality Act 2010, and that the claims of direct discrimination, discrimination because of something arising from disability, and failure to make reasonable adjustments were all dismissed.
The tribunal also dismissed the unfair dismissal complaint, stating that it was not well founded. No separate written reasons were issued because reasons were given orally at the hearing and the written record notes that further reasons would only be provided if requested within 14 days.
Separately, the parties agreed that the respondent had failed to compensate the claimant for holiday leave accrued as at termination of employment. In respect of that accrued leave entitlement, the respondent was ordered to pay the agreed gross sum of £86.40 to the claimant.

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.
