Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal, sitting at Southampton before Employment Judge Rayner on 29 and 30 November and 1 and 2 December 2021, upheld Mr P Brailey's claims for failure to make reasonable adjustments, discrimination arising from disability, and unfair dismissal. The written record states that the respondent's failure to make a reasonable adjustment was contrary to sections 20 and 21 Equality Act 2010, and that the dismissal amounted to discrimination for a reason arising from disability under section 15 Equality Act 2010.
The judgment records that the claimant was awarded damages by way of remedy in the total sum of £38,313.91. The award comprised a basic award of £14,526.00, injury to feelings of £14,000.00, interest on the injury to feelings award of £980.00, loss of earnings of £6,922.99 from the date of dismissal until 9 February 2021, a further £1,656.15 for the remaining three weeks in February 2021, and interest on loss of earnings of £228.77.
The judgment also records that the respondent was ordered to pay the claimant £38,313.91. No separate apportionment of the monetary award between the three upheld claims is set out in the written reasons supplied in the extract.

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.
