Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal sitting at Birmingham on 7 August 2023 before Judge L Mensah recorded that the claimant's disability victimisation claim was not made out and was dismissed. The written record states that the judgment was given orally and that written reasons would not be provided unless requested within 14 days.
The tribunal found the claimant's disability discrimination claim well founded. It stated that the claim succeeded under section 15 Equality Act 2010, described in the judgment as discrimination 'arising from' a disability, and under sections 20 and 21 Equality Act 2010 for failures to make reasonable adjustments.
For remedy, the tribunal awarded £690.52 gross as loss of wages for 3.1 weeks and £2,500 for the reasonable-adjustment and section 15 disability discrimination. The total award recorded in the judgment was £3,190.52.

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.
