Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

This was a preliminary hearing in Bristol on 7 March 2022 before Employment Judge Oliver Representation. The tribunal found that Mr C Jones was disabled at the material times within the meaning of the Equality Act 2010 by reason of dyslexia and dyspraxia.

The judgment records that his disability discrimination claims could proceed to a full hearing. It does not decide the substantive discrimination issues, and it contains no remedy award.

The written record also notes that reasons were given orally at the hearing and that written reasons would not be provided unless requested in accordance with the tribunal's standard practice for that situation.

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.
