Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a preliminary hearing before Employment Judge Norris sitting alone by CVP on 26-27 July 2021. The claimant applied to amend her claim to rely on anxiety and/or depression as further disabilities and to add a further complaint of victimisation under section 27(1)(b) Equality Act 2010. That application was refused.
The judgment records that the complaints of direct disability discrimination and disability-related harassment were dismissed on withdrawal. The tribunal also found that the claimant was not a disabled person by reason of a brain tumour at the relevant time, and on that basis the remaining disability discrimination complaint under section 15 Equality Act, including the failure to make reasonable adjustments aspect, was dismissed.
The remaining victimisation complaint was not finally determined at this hearing and was directed to proceed to a full hearing. The reasons were given orally at the hearing, and the record notes that written reasons would not be provided unless requested within 14 days.

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.
