Mr B Sequerra
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant, Mr B Sequerra, was found to be a disabled person within section 6 of the Equality Act 2010 because of bipolar disorder. The hearing took place in Sheffield on 24 January 2025 before Employment Judge Ayre, and the respondent did not attend and was not represented.
The tribunal dismissed the claim of discrimination arising from disability and also dismissed the claim of failure to make reasonable adjustments. Those claims did not succeed on the facts found by the tribunal.
The tribunal did find that the respondent harassed the claimant for a reason related to disability on a date in late July 2023, when Nigel Brewster said to the claimant: 'no one likes you, no one respects you, you’re crazy'. The other complaints of disability-related harassment were dismissed.
The respondent was ordered to pay £2,000 compensation for injury to feelings. No separate basic award, compensatory award or interest is recorded in the judgment.

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.
