Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal held that Mr S Putt was unfairly dismissed. It found that there was a 50% chance he would have been retained in a Maintenance Engineer role on a reduced salary of £27,000.
It also held that his redundancy amounted to discrimination arising from disability. The tribunal dismissed the remaining claims, which included other disability discrimination claims, age discrimination, a failure to make reasonable adjustments, and unpaid holiday pay.
Remedy was not determined at this hearing. The case was listed for a CVP remedy hearing on 31 January 2023, and the claimant was directed to provide full disclosure of all income, including benefits, since dismissal by 18 December 2022.

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.
