Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal, sitting at Cardiff with Employment Judge S Jenkins and lay members Mr P Bradney and Ms J Kaye, heard Mr C Godfrey's claims against Ensinger Limited on 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 27 and 28 November 2023. It dismissed the claim of unfair dismissal under section 94 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 and dismissed the section 15 Equality Act 2010 claim that he had been unfavourably treated because of something arising from disability.
The tribunal upheld the section 21 Equality Act 2010 reasonable adjustments claim. It found that the respondent failed to make reasonable adjustments to avoid the disadvantage to which the claimant was put by its provisions, criteria or practices.
The tribunal also upheld the section 27 Equality Act 2010 victimisation claim, finding that the claimant was subjected to a detriment because he had done a protected act. On remedy, the tribunal ordered £5,000 for injury to feelings plus £707.95 interest, and £4,454.77 for other losses plus £240.19 interest, making a total award of £10,402.91. The written record does not separate that award between the two successful claims.

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.
