Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a record of a preliminary hearing at Cardiff Employment Tribunal, heard by video-link on 9 June 2022 before Employment Judge E Macdonald. The issue decided was whether Mr Martyn Paul Phillips was disabled within the meaning of s 6 Equality Act 2010 by reason of dyslexia at the material time.
The tribunal held that the claimant had not discharged the burden of proving that he was disabled for the purposes of the Act. The written judgment records only that finding and does not set out further reasoning in the extracted text.
Because the preliminary disability issue was not made out, there is no recorded remedy in this judgment. The record also states that reasons were given orally at the hearing and that written reasons would not be provided unless requested in time.

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.
