Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal, sitting with Employment Judge T. Vincent Ryan and lay members Ms L. Owen and Ms J. Kiely, gave a unanimous judgment dismissing all of the claimant’s claims. The claims were presented in time, but the tribunal rejected the claims for failure to make reasonable adjustments, unfair dismissal, and unfavourable treatment because of something arising from disability.
On the unfair dismissal claim, the tribunal found that the claimant was fairly dismissed on 11 March 2021. The reason for dismissal was said to relate to capability by reference to health, and also to be an SOSR reason, namely concern for matters of health and safety.
The disability discrimination claims were also dismissed. The judgment records a claim under ss. 20-22 of the Equality Act and a separate claim under s.15 Equality Act 2010, but no remedy was awarded because none of the claims succeeded.

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.
