Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The tribunal found that the respondent contravened section 15 of the Equality Act by dismissing the claimant, so that disability discrimination complaint succeeded. It also found the claimant's unfair dismissal complaint well founded and succeeded on that claim.

The claimant's reasonable adjustment complaints were dismissed. The judgment does not record any monetary remedy in the extracted text.

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.
