Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a preliminary issue hearing at Leeds on 14 June 2019 before Employment Judge D N Jones. The tribunal determined that Ms E Walley was a disabled person within the meaning of section 6 of the Equality Act 2010 for the period from September 2018 to 17 January 2019.
The judgment does not record any substantive liability findings or any monetary award. It is a short oral-reasons judgment on the preliminary disability issue only, and the written note states that written reasons would not be provided unless requested in time by either party.

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.
