Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal, sitting remotely in London Central on 5 to 8 July 2021, gave a unanimous judgment dismissing the claimant’s unfair dismissal claim under Part X of the Employment Rights Act 1996. It found that claim not well-founded. The judgment was signed by Employment Judge Stout with Tribunal Member Plummer and Tribunal Member Pendle sitting with the judge.
The tribunal also rejected the claimant’s Equality Act 2010 complaint. It found that the respondent had not directly discriminated against the claimant and had not failed to comply with the duty to make reasonable adjustments. On the material extracted text, the judgment does not set out written reasons, but the dispositive finding is that the disability discrimination claim was not upheld.
Separately, the tribunal held that the respondent should have paid the claimant £1,011.41 for holiday entitlement accrued but untaken at the end of employment. It ordered that sum to be paid within 14 days of the judgment. No separate split of the award is given beyond that holiday entitlement figure.

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.
