Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt a hearing in Cardiff and by video on 23, 24, 27, 28, 29 and 30 April 2022, before Employment Judge S Moore sitting with Mr C Stephenson and Mrs C Mangles, the tribunal recorded that the claimant’s failure to make reasonable adjustments claim was dismissed following withdrawal by the claimant. The written judgment does not set out the tribunal’s full reasoning, and it states that written reasons will not be provided unless requested in accordance with the note appended to the decision.
The tribunal found in favour of Mr R Romero on his claim of unfair dismissal contrary to section 98 Employment Rights Act 1996. It also found in his favour on direct disability discrimination contrary to section 13 Equality Act 2010 and discrimination arising from disability contrary to section 15 Equality Act 2010.
Remedy was not determined in this judgment. The tribunal ordered that remedy would be decided at a separate remedy hearing, and no monetary award is recorded in the judgment text provided.

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.
