Miss L Roden
Respondent
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal unanimously rejected the claimant's disability discrimination claims. It found that the respondent did not directly discriminate against Miss L Roden on the ground of disability and did not fail to make reasonable adjustments for her disability.
The tribunal did, however, uphold the harassment claim, finding that the respondent harassed the claimant by dismissing her, but not otherwise. It also upheld the unfair dismissal claim and the breach of contract claim based on the failure to give notice of dismissal.
A further finding was made that the respondent failed to provide the claimant with a statement of principal terms of employment. The tribunal awarded a basic award of £2,700 and a compensatory award of £8,955.60 for unfair dismissal, injury to feelings of £10,800 plus £1,152 interest for harassment, one month's net pay of £1,750 for notice, and two weeks' pay of £900 for the failure to provide a statement of principal terms. No preparation time order was made.

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.
