Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMrs A Morgan brought claims against Marks and Spencer Plc that were heard via video on 6, 7, 10 and 11 August 2020. The tribunal found that she was unfairly dismissed, so her unfair dismissal claim succeeded. It also found that she was treated unfavourably because of something arising in consequence of her disability, so her disability discrimination claim under that theory succeeded.
The claimant's separate complaint that the respondent failed to comply with the duty to make reasonable adjustments was dismissed. The tribunal found that claim had been brought outside the required time limit and that it was not just and equitable to extend time.
The tribunal ordered compensation comprising a basic award of £5,725.20, a compensatory award of £7,046.87 made up of a prescribed element of £6,127.00 and a non-prescribed element of £919.87, and £3,000.00 for injury to feelings. The grand total awarded was £15,772.07. For recoupment purposes, the prescribed element was £6,127.00 for the period 19 March 2019 to 31 August 2019, and the excess over the prescribed element was £9,645.07.

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.
