Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal unanimously held that Climar Industries Limited was the correct respondent, that the claimant was its employee, and that the employer owed him a duty to make reasonable adjustments. It further found that the respondent had actual knowledge of the claimant's disability before the acts complained of.
On liability, the tribunal found that Climar Industries Limited subjected the claimant to disability discrimination by failing to comply with its duty to make reasonable adjustments, referring to sections 20, 21(2), 25(2)(d), 39(2)(c) and 39(5) of the Equality Act 2010. It also found that, in deciding to dismiss the claimant, the respondent treated him unfavourably because of something arising in consequence of his disability, contrary to s.39(2) and s.15 Equality Act 2010.
The written record states that the judgment was given orally at the hearing and does not record any remedy award. No compensation figure or other monetary order appears in the extracted text.

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.
