Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal dismissed the claimant's disability discrimination claims. It found that the claim that the respondent failed in its duty to make reasonable adjustments under ss.20-21 Equality Act 2010 failed, and that the claim of discrimination arising from disability under s.15 Equality Act 2010 also failed.
The tribunal found that the claimant was unfairly dismissed. It ordered the respondent to pay a basic award of £14,526, calculated from 18 years' service, a multiplier of 1.5 for each year, and the statutory weekly limit of £538.
No compensatory award was made. The tribunal found there was a 100% chance that the claimant would have been dismissed if a fair procedure had been followed, and stated that the Employment Protection (Recoupment of Benefits) Regulations 1996 did not apply because there was no compensatory 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.
