Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal recorded that Miss C Blakeston brought an unfair dismissal complaint and disability discrimination complaints against the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, sued as the Department for Work and Pensions. The hearing took place by CVP before Employment Judge Rogerson, with Mr N Pearse and Mr G D Wareing as lay members. The judgment records that reasons were given orally at the hearing.
The unfair dismissal complaint was dismissed because it was presented out of time. The disability discrimination complaints, brought in the form of a failure to make reasonable adjustments and discrimination arising from disability, also failed and were dismissed. The written judgment does not set out further reasoning beyond those outcomes.

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.
