Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a preliminary issue decision given by Employment Judge Craft on 5 April 2022 and sent to the parties on 25 April 2022. The tribunal found that Mrs L Spencer-Duncan was a disabled person within the meaning of s.6(1) Equality Act 2010 at the relevant time, by reason of rheumatoid arthritis, which it found had a long-term substantial adverse effect on her day-to-day activities.
The claimant's breach of contract claim was dismissed because she withdrew it. The tribunal did not determine the merits of the remaining unfair dismissal and disability discrimination claims at this hearing; those claims were recorded as proceeding to the full hearing listed to start on 5 December 2022. The tribunal also noted that clarification of the respondent's reasons for dismissal and further directions had been agreed with counsel at the conclusion of the preliminary hearing.

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.
