Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The tribunal unanimously upheld the claimant's disability discrimination complaint under sections 15 and 57 of the Equality Act 2010 in two respects: delay in providing the outcome of an investigation into a complaint made about her, and standing her down from union duties from 14 March to 1 June 2020. The judgment records that the remaining section 15 allegations failed and were dismissed.

The victimisation claim was dismissed on withdrawal. The tribunal awarded £9,000 for injury to feelings in respect of the successful parts of the claim.

Interest was awarded at 8% from 14 February 2020 to 20 April 2022, amounting to £1,570.19. The tribunal stated that the Recoupment Regulations 1996 did not apply and ordered the respondent to pay £10,570.19 in total.

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.
