Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a rule 21 judgment at which the claimant appeared in person and the respondent did not attend. The tribunal dismissed the unfair dismissal claim because the claimant did not have the qualifying period.
The tribunal found that the claimant was a disabled person and upheld the discrimination claim arising from dismissal under sections 13 and 15 of the Equality Act 2010. Compensation was awarded for loss of earnings from 13 July 2019 to 4 November 2019, calculated at 16 weeks at £308 per week, together with interest, injury to feelings of £8,000, and further interest from 21 June 2019 to 27 January 2020.
The judgment states that the respondent shall pay compensation of £13,326.81. The schedule itemises £4,928 for loss of earnings, £45.48 interest on that loss, £8,000 for injury to feelings, and £353.33 further interest; those itemised figures total £13,326.81, although the schedule footer states £13,362.81.

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.
