Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt Southampton, the tribunal comprising Employment Judge Scott and Tribunal Members Collins and Knight struck out the respondent's defence to the disability discrimination claims. It then found that Ms A Rodriguez succeeded in her direct discrimination claim on the grounds of disability for the period between 9 November 2021 and 12 November 2021 inclusive, but her separate complaint of direct discrimination in relation to the extension of her probation was dismissed.
The tribunal also upheld the claim of discrimination arising from disability. It ordered the respondent to pay compensation for discrimination of £21,721.23, made up of £18,750 for injury to feelings, inclusive of a 25% uplift for failure to follow the ACAS procedure, and £2,971.23 in interest calculated at 8% from 9 November 2021 over 723 days.

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.
