Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal recorded that the respondent accepted the claimant was disabled by reason of depression and anxiety, but disputed that she was disabled by reason of PTSD. The tribunal found that the claimant was not disabled by reason of PTSD at the material times.
The claimant brought complaints of discrimination arising from disability and failure to make reasonable adjustments, including complaints about performance management, attendance management, sick pay, pay progression, contact with colleague X, workload, alternative roles, and severance. The tribunal dismissed the discrimination arising from disability complaints and found the reasonable adjustment allegations were not well founded.
On the reasonable adjustment allegations visible in the extracted text, the tribunal found that the proposed steps were not reasonable or would not remove the relevant disadvantage, including the requested guarantee of no contact with X, further workload changes, transfer to another role or department, severance, full sick pay, payment timing, and withdrawal of an attendance warning. The complaints were dismissed in their entirety.

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.
