Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt the preliminary hearing held in Birmingham on 2 October 2020, Employment Judge Gaskell found that Mr R Kotfas was not at any material time a disabled person as defined by section 6 and Schedule 1 of the Equality Act 2010. On that basis, the claimant's disability discrimination claims were dismissed.
The judgment did not determine the claimant's unfair dismissal claim. It stated that the unfair dismissal claim remained listed for final hearing before an Employment Judge sitting without members in Birmingham on 4, 5, 6 and 7 May 2021, with a reduced time allocation of four days. The tribunal also recorded that, save for that variation, the case management orders made on 13 May 2020 continued to apply.

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.
