Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a short judgment on a preliminary issue. The tribunal heard the case by Cloud video on 30 July 2021 before Employment Judge Reed, with the claimant represented by her mother and the respondent represented by a solicitor.
The tribunal found that, at the times relevant for the purposes of her claim, Ms G Bircham was disabled by reason of obsessive compulsive disorder. No other substantive liability findings are recorded in the extracted judgment, and no remedy was awarded or addressed in this decision.
The written record notes that reasons were given orally at the hearing and that written reasons would not be provided unless requested within 14 days of the written record being sent to the parties.

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.
