Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal at Hull, chaired by Employment Judge Miller with Ms J Rathbone and Mr C Childs, recorded that the claimant’s disability discrimination claims were unsuccessful. It dismissed the claims of direct discrimination because of disability, discrimination arising from disability, and failure to make reasonable adjustments.
The claimant succeeded in his unfair dismissal claim against the first respondent. The tribunal stated that any compensatory award would be reduced by 90% to reflect the chance that he would have been fairly dismissed if the respondent had sought additional medical evidence.
The claimant’s wrongful dismissal claim in breach of contract was dismissed. His claim for unauthorised deduction from wages was successful against the first respondent, and remedy was left to be determined at a further hearing.

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.
