Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal, sitting at London Central by CVP on 2, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 11 and 12 September 2024 before Employment Judge Singh, Dr V Weersinghe and Ms G Carpenter, dismissed all four complaints brought by Mr M McDonald against the Department of Work and Pensions and Ms Marian Keane.
It found that the complaint of unfavourable treatment because of something arising in consequence of disability was not well-founded. It also rejected the complaint of failure to make reasonable adjustments for disability, finding that claim not well-founded as well.
The tribunal further dismissed the complaint of harassment related to disability and the complaint of victimisation, each on the basis that they were not well-founded. No remedy or monetary award was recorded in the judgment.

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.
