Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal sat at Wrexham by CVP on 20 and 21 April 2022 before Employment Judge T. Vincent Ryan, Ms M. Walters and Ms C. Izzard. Mr A. Kennedy represented himself, and the Office for National Statistics was represented by counsel.
The unanimous judgment was that Mr Kennedy's claims that the respondent discriminated against him directly in relation to the protected characteristic of disability, and by failing to make reasonable adjustments in accordance with a statutory duty to do so, failed and were dismissed. The written judgment records that reasons were given orally at the hearing and that no request for written reasons was made at the hearing. No remedy or monetary award was recorded.

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.
