Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal unanimously held that Mr C Tresfon was unfairly dismissed by Rycon Steels Ltd on 13 May 2020 for a reason related to capability by reference to health. The unfair dismissal claim was well-founded and succeeded.
The tribunal recorded an agreed basic award of £2,632 and a compensatory award of £526 for loss of statutory protection, giving a total award of £3,158. It also noted that, because there was no further award, the recoupment provisions did not apply.
The claimant's disability discrimination claim for failure to make reasonable adjustments under sections 20-21 Equality Act 2010 was dismissed on withdrawal. The separate claim under section 15 Equality Act 2010, alleging discrimination arising from disability, failed and was dismissed.

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.
