Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal found that Gloverpriest Solicitors Ltd discriminated against Mrs S Reeves because of something arising in consequence of her disability when it suggested a three month unpaid career break and said that her employment would be terminated if she was unable to return. That was the only disability discrimination allegation upheld in the written judgment.
The tribunal dismissed the claimant's other allegations of discrimination arising from disability, together with her direct disability discrimination claim and her harassment claim related to disability. No further detail on the dismissed allegations is given in the short written record beyond the tribunal's conclusion that they failed.
The judgment states that there may need to be a further hearing to determine remedy, and that appropriate orders would be issued separately. No compensation figure or other remedy was fixed in this decision.

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.
