Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningReasons for the decision were given orally at the hearing, and the written record states that written reasons would not be provided unless requested within 14 days. On the record of decision, the Respondent admitted the constructive unfair dismissal complaint, and that claim succeeded.
The tribunal then recorded unanimous decisions on the remaining complaints. The Claimant's direct age discrimination complaint succeeded in part. The direct disability discrimination complaint was found not well-founded and was dismissed. Indirect disability discrimination succeeded in part, the section 15 Equality Act 2010 complaint succeeded in part, and the failure to make reasonable adjustments complaint succeeded.

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.
