Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal heard the case at Port Talbot Justice Centre on 7 to 14 September 2020 before Employment Judge S Moore sitting with Mr B Roberts and Mr J Williams. The judgment records a unanimous decision and dismisses every claim brought by Mrs G Tainton against Hywel Dda University Local Health Board.
The dismissed claims included claims under the Equality Act 2010 for discrimination arising from disability, indirect disability discrimination, direct disability discrimination, disability related harassment, and indirect age discrimination. The tribunal also dismissed the claim for unlawful detriments under s.47B Employment Rights Act 1996, the claim for constructive unfair dismissal, the claim for wrongful dismissal, and the claim for unlawful deduction from wages.
The written judgment is a short disposal record and does not set out detailed written reasons. It states that the reasons were given orally at the hearing and that no written reasons would be provided unless requested in accordance with the note at the end of the judgment. No monetary award is recorded because all claims failed.

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.
