Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe case was heard by CVP at the Midlands West Employment Tribunal on 15-16 July 2024 before Employment Judge Gidney sitting with Ms Mira Gola and Ms Linda Clark. The claimant did not attend. The first respondent did not attend. Mr Jagpal, consultant, appeared for the respondents. The written record states that reasons were given orally at the hearing and that written reasons would not be provided unless requested within 14 days.
The tribunal dismissed the claimant's unfair dismissal claim and disability discrimination claim against John Nicholls Ltd. It also dismissed the disability discrimination claim against Whites Cleaning Company Ltd. The written record does not set out the tribunal's detailed reasoning for those outcomes.
The tribunal upheld the unfair dismissal claim against Whites Cleaning Company Ltd and assessed remedy at £1,606.09. No split of the award into basic award, compensatory award, or other components is recorded in the written decision.

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.
