Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal heard complaints of direct disability discrimination, indirect disability discrimination, and harassment related to disability against Nexmo Limited and Vonage Limited. It held that the direct disability discrimination complaints were not presented within the applicable time limit, but it was just and equitable to extend time. The complaint about not awarding the claimant the Long Term Incentive (LTI) in February/March 2023 was found well-founded and succeeded against both respondents on a joint and several basis.
The complaint about not paying the claimant the Key Contributor Award in February/March 2023 was dismissed upon withdrawal. The remaining direct disability discrimination complaint was not well-founded and was dismissed.
The indirect disability discrimination complaint about failing to chase up the income protection insurance from May 2023 was dismissed upon withdrawal, and the remaining indirect disability discrimination complaints were dismissed as not well-founded. In the harassment section, the tribunal extended time for some allegations, but the complaint about withholding information or failing to provide relevant information was dismissed upon withdrawal, and the remaining harassment complaints relating to disability were dismissed. No monetary remedy figure is set out in the extracted 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.
