Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe case was heard at Bristol on 6 to 9 January 2020 by Employment Judge Cadney sitting with Mr H Launder and Dr J Miller. The claimant, Mrs M Fleet, brought claims for constructive unfair dismissal, direct disability discrimination, failure to make reasonable adjustments, and harassment against Bailey Caravans Ltd.
The Tribunal unanimously dismissed the constructive unfair dismissal claim, the direct disability discrimination claim under section 13 Equality Act 2010, and the reasonable adjustments claim under sections 20 and 21 Equality Act 2010. It also dismissed the harassment allegations generally, save for one complaint.
The Tribunal held that the harassment complaint in relation to the 'raspberry ripple' comment was well founded. It awarded the claimant £5,000 for injury to feelings. No other remedy is recorded in the judgment.

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.
