Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a preliminary hearing before Employment Judge Cox at Leeds on 26 October 2021 in the claim of Miss L Queeley against NewDay Cards Ltd. The issue recorded in the written judgment was whether the claimant met the definition of a disabled person under the Equality Act 2010 at the material time by reason of having long COVID.
The tribunal decided that she did not meet that definition. The recorded judgment is limited to that point and does not set out any further findings, remedy, or detailed reasoning in the written record. The note states that oral reasons were given at the preliminary hearing and that written reasons would only be provided if requested within 14 days.

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.
