Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The case was heard by CVP in Birmingham on 14 October 2022 before Employment Judge Dean. The claimant appeared in person and the respondent was represented by counsel.

The tribunal held that, at all material times, Ms Barnett was not a disabled person within the meaning of section 6 of the Equality Act 2010. That finding meant the disability discrimination jurisdictional basis was not made out on the evidence before the tribunal.

The written judgment records that the claimant's complaints against HM Courts and Tribunal Service were dismissed. It also notes that reasons were given orally at the hearing and that written reasons would not be provided unless requested in time.

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.
