Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant, a Detective Sergeant Major with the respondent, brought disability discrimination claims relating to a requirement that he transfer to General CID at London Bridge for a six-month period. He relied on angina and a heart condition, together with PTSD, anxiety and depression, as disabilities. The judgment records that a permitted amendment concerning constructive dismissal formed part of the discrimination claim and was not a freestanding constructive unfair dismissal claim.
The tribunal dismissed the complaints of indirect disability discrimination, unfavourable treatment because of something arising in consequence of disability, and failure to make reasonable adjustments. In the extracted reasons, the tribunal found that several alleged provisions, criteria or practices were not made out, that admitted PCPs did not place the claimant at the asserted substantial disadvantage on the evidence, and that the respondent had made significant attempts to assess adjustment needs.
No monetary remedy was awarded because the claims were dismissed in their entirety. The source text supplied for extraction is truncated, so the summary is limited to the stated judgment, background, and conclusion visible in the provided text.

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.
