Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal sat at Birmingham Employment Tribunal between 1 and 10 June 2026 before Employment Judge Akhtar, Mrs N Chavda and Ms S Campbell. Mr N Merriman appeared in person and Bosch Thermotechnology Limited was represented by Mr R Hignett, counsel.
The tribunal dismissed the complaint in respect of victimisation, finding it was not well-founded. It also dismissed the complaint of constructive unfair dismissal, finding that it was not well-founded.
For the disability claim, the tribunal found that Mr Merriman was not a disabled person by reason of depression and PTSD at the relevant times for the purposes of s.6 of the Equality Act 2010. The complaint of discrimination arising from disability was therefore recorded as not well-founded and dismissed.
No monetary remedy was awarded or recorded in the judgment. The judgment states that summary reasons were given orally and that written reasons would not be provided unless requested within the stated time limit.

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.
