Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe case was heard at Sheffield on 27 to 30 August and 24 January 2020 before Employment Judge Rostant, sitting with Mrs E Burgess and Mr D Fields. The claimant was Miss E Zajko and the respondent was Z.E.X (Yorkshire) Ltd. The tribunal gave its unanimous judgment on 24 January 2020.
The tribunal dismissed the claimant's indirect discrimination claim and her claim for breach of the duty to make reasonable adjustments. Those claims failed and were dismissed in the judgment's first finding.
The claimant's claim of discrimination for a matter arising from disability succeeded. The tribunal upheld that claim and declared that the claimant was discriminated against because of something arising from her disability, contrary to sections 15 and 39 Equality Act 2010.
The judgment did not determine any financial remedy. It states that the application for other remedies was adjourned to a further hearing and would be dealt with under a separate order of the tribunal.

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.
