Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant, a part-time mathematics teacher diagnosed as autistic, was summarily dismissed on 7 May 2024 with one month's pay in lieu of notice. She brought claims for failure to make reasonable adjustments, discrimination arising from disability, victimisation, part-time worker discrimination, unlawful deduction from wages and breach of contract for wrongful dismissal.
The Tribunal, sitting as Employment Judge alone at Exeter, dismissed the reasonable adjustments, discrimination arising from disability, part-time worker and unlawful deduction from wages claims. It upheld the victimisation claim and ordered the respondent to pay £10,830.01 (£10,000 injury to feelings plus £830.01 interest).
The wrongful dismissal claim was upheld: the Tribunal found the claimant's six-month probationary period had expired before dismissal so she was entitled to a full term's notice, not one month. Damages of £8,377.06 gross were awarded for the lost notice period (34 weeks at £269.28 plus 17.3 weeks at £22.44 PPA, less the one month already paid). Total awards across upheld claims aggregate to £19,207.07. PDF text truncated from 78,934 characters.

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.
