Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal, sitting at Birmingham over 1-3 May 2024 before Employment Judge Bennett with Mr N Forward and Mr J Sharma, considered complaints brought by Mrs M Bekierz against Applied Coating Technologies Ltd. The Claimant appeared in person; the Respondent was represented by Mr Uduje of Counsel. The unanimous judgment found that the complaint of unfair dismissal was well-founded and that the Claimant was unfairly dismissed.
The Tribunal also found that the complaint of unfavourable treatment because of something arising in consequence of disability was well-founded and succeeded. The Respondent was ordered to pay a compensatory award of £4,490.92 in respect of the unfair dismissal claim and £11,000 for injury to feelings in respect of the disability discrimination claim, producing a total sum payable of £15,490.92. The judgment records that the sums stated are the actual sums payable after any deductions or uplifts.
Reasons were given orally at the hearing and written reasons will only be provided on request within the prescribed period, so the underlying factual findings and legal reasoning are not set out in this written record.

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.
