Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal, sitting at Leeds by CVP before Employment Judge Shepherd with Ms R Hodgkinson and Ms S Robinson, gave a unanimous judgment in favour of Mr J Lombard on several claims and dismissed others. The unfair dismissal claim was found well founded and succeeded under sections 94-98 of the Employment Rights Act 1996.
On the disability discrimination claims, the Tribunal rejected the claim of direct discrimination by reason of disability, but upheld the claims for discrimination arising from disability and failure to make reasonable adjustments. It also dismissed the claim of harassment related to disability.
The Tribunal further found that the claimant's claim for failure to pay the statutory minimum notice pay was well founded and succeeded. A further hearing was to be listed to deal with remedy, and no monetary award is recorded in this judgment extract.

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.
