Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a public preliminary hearing in Leeds on 15 January 2020 before Employment Judge JM Wade. The tribunal decided as a preliminary issue that the claimant was not a disabled person by reason of a back condition from October 2018 to April 2019, which was the period relevant to her Equality Act complaints.
As a result, the claimant's complaints of failure to make reasonable adjustments and Section 15 disability discrimination were dismissed. The judgment does not record any monetary award or remedy because those complaints did not succeed at this stage.
The tribunal also recorded that the claimant's complaints of direct race discrimination and harassment were to continue to a further hearing, subject to separate case management orders.

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.
