Ms A J Lock v G K Retail Services Ltd — 2022

The tribunal, sitting at Leeds before Employment Judge Miller with Mr K Smith and Mr M Lewis, recorded that Ms A J Lock’s claim of unfair constructive dismissal was not well founded and was dismissed. Her claim of direct discrimination because of disability under s.13 Equality Act 2010 was also unsuccessful and dismissed, as was her claim of discrimination arising from disability under s.15 Equality Act 2010.

The claimant’s claim that the respondent failed to make reasonable adjustments was successful. The written judgment does not set out the tribunal’s detailed reasons in the extracted text, but the outcome recorded is that the reasonable adjustments complaint succeeded while the direct discrimination and s.15 claims did not.

The claimant’s breach of contract claim, which was identified as a failure to pay notice pay, was dismissed. Her claim for payment of holiday pay accrued on termination of employment was successful.

Remedy was not determined in this judgment; the tribunal stated that remedy would be decided at a subsequent hearing. The written record also notes that reasons were given orally at the hearing and that written reasons would not be provided unless requested.
