Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

At a preliminary hearing on 3 October 2023, Employment Judge Cuthbert found that Miss N Garvin had failed to establish that she was disabled at the relevant times within the meaning of section 6 of the Equality Act 2010. On that basis, the claimant’s disability discrimination claim was dismissed.

The judgment records that the claimant’s remaining claims were still listed for a final hearing in January 2024, so this decision dealt only with the disability issue and did not determine the other claims in the case.

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.
