Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt a preliminary hearing in Leeds on 2 July 2019 before Employment Judge Cox, the tribunal found that Miss R Newbould was not, at the material time, a disabled person within the meaning of the Equality Act 2010 by reason of hypersensitivity. On that basis, the claims of failure to make reasonable adjustments and discrimination arising from disability were dismissed.
The tribunal also dismissed as out of time the claims of harassment related to gender reassignment and sexual orientation, direct and indirect gender reassignment discrimination, and victimisation. The judgment records no monetary award.

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.
