Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The case was heard on 13-16 September 2021 before Employment Judge J Jones, Mrs S Outwin and Mr N Howard. The written judgment records that Mr A Chucha’s claim of unfair dismissal succeeded and that his claim of disability-related discrimination under section 15 Equality Act 2010 also succeeded.

The judgment also records that the claims of failure to make reasonable adjustments under sections 20 and 21 Equality Act 2010 and harassment because of disability under section 26 Equality Act 2010 were struck out. The reason given was that those claims were out of time and the tribunal did not have jurisdiction to hear them.

No monetary award is set out in the written record provided, and no split remedy figure is recorded for any individual claim.

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.
