Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMs L Monkhouse succeeded in two complaints that the Chief Constable of West Yorkshire Police failed to make reasonable adjustments, identified at paragraphs 3.1.1 and 3.1.3 of the list of issues. A further reasonable-adjustments complaint, identified at paragraph 3.3, failed and was dismissed. The Tribunal found it just and equitable to extend time until 28 September 2023 so that it had jurisdiction to consider that complaint.
A separate reasonable-adjustments complaint identified at paragraph 3.1.2, the complaint of harassment related to disability, and the complaint of discrimination because of something arising in consequence of disability were dismissed upon withdrawal. The judgment records no monetary remedy. Reasons were given orally at the hearing, and the written judgment does not record the underlying factual findings or further reasoning.

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.
