Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe case was heard at London Central via CVP on 3 May 2024 before Employment Judge S Connolly. The judgment records that oral reasons were given at the hearing on the disability issue, so no written reasons were provided in the judgment itself.
The tribunal found that the claimant was not a disabled person at the relevant time for the purposes of section 6 of the Equality Act 2010. On that basis, the claimant's direct disability claim was dismissed.
The judgment also records that the claimant's remaining claims were still listed for a full merits hearing beginning on 1 July 2024, with directions made for disclosure and exchange of witness statements before that hearing.

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.
