Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a preliminary hearing before Employment Judge JM Wade on 20 September 2022, adjourned to 30 September 2022, in case numbers 1805899/2021 and 1806585/2021. The claimant was Mr T Palin and the respondent was Leeds Arts University. The tribunal recorded that the claimant had not proven that he was a disabled person at the material times.
On that basis, the claimant's complaints of failure to make reasonable adjustments and section 15 discrimination were dismissed. The judgment does not record any remedy, as the claims did not succeed at the preliminary stage.

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.
