Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal allowed the claimant's 8 October 2020 application to amend his claim in part. It refused the amendment seeking to assert indirect disability discrimination, but allowed the amendment seeking to assert unfavourable treatment arising from disability.
The claimant withdrew the age discrimination claim, and the tribunal dismissed that claim upon withdrawal. The judgment records that oral reasons were given at the hearing and that written reasons would only be provided if requested within 14 days.

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.
