Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal dismissed the claimant's complaints that the respondent failed to make reasonable adjustments, discriminated because of something arising from disability, and subjected him to disability-related harassment. The supplied text gives the final judgment and issue list, but the detailed reasoning for those discrimination complaints is truncated.
On unfair dismissal, the tribunal found that the respondent had shown the reason for dismissal was health capability, on the basis that the claimant was unable to undertake his role and there was no realistic prospect of him being fit to return within a reasonable time. It found that the respondent had taken reasonable steps to understand the claimant's medical position and to liaise with him about alternatives, and that the decision maker was entitled to proceed on the limited information available.
The tribunal found that the process, viewed in the round, was fair and that alternatives to dismissal had been considered. It concluded that the claimant's unfair dismissal complaint was not well founded and dismissed it.

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. See full methodology.
