Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal unanimously dismissed the claimant's claims of indirect disability discrimination under s.19 Equality Act 2010 and discrimination arising from disability under s.15 Equality Act 2010. It also dismissed the claimant's claim of unfair dismissal.
The tribunal found the claimant's claim of failure to make reasonable adjustments for disability under ss.20 and 21 Equality Act 2010 to be well founded. The respondent was ordered to pay £7,500 for injury to feelings as a consequence of that failure, plus £1,655 interest, making a total of £9,155.

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.
