Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt the open preliminary hearing on 23 January 2023 before Employment Judge Brain, the tribunal recorded that Ms M Hackett was at all material times a disabled person for the purposes of section 6 of the Equality Act 2010. The hearing was in the joined proceedings brought by Ms M Hackett and Mr C Booth against Moorville Developments Ltd.
The respondent applied for an order dismissing Mr Booth's claim brought under the Equality Act 2010 pursuant to Rules 37(1)(c) and (d) of Schedule 1 to the Employment Tribunals (Constitution and Rules of Procedure) Regulations 2013. That application was refused. The tribunal directed that Mr Booth's Equality Act complaint would stand dismissed without further order only if he did not comply with paragraphs 13 and 14 of the order dated 20 July 2022 by 20 February 2023.
The order expressly stated that it did not apply to Mr Booth's unfair dismissal complaint brought under the Employment Rights Act 1996. The judgment did not determine the merits of the underlying Equality Act or unfair dismissal claims; it dealt with the preliminary disability status point and case management consequences only.

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.
