Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt a preliminary hearing in London Central on 21 August 2023, before Employment Judge G Smart, the claimant appeared in person and the respondent was represented by counsel. The tribunal dealt with the claimant's disability discrimination claims only in this judgment.
The tribunal struck out all the claimant's claims for disability discrimination because they had no reasonable prospect of success. It also found that the claimant was not a disabled person within the meaning of section 6 of the Equality Act 2010 at all the relevant dates.

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.
