Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt the hearing in Leeds by CVP on 20 February 2025, Employment Judge JM Wade determined a preliminary issue in Mr V Kirby's case. The tribunal found that he was a disabled person within section 6 of the Equality Act 2010 at the material times from October 2023, by reason of dyslexia and pernicious anaemia.
The judgment records no other substantive findings on liability and does not set out any monetary award. It therefore provides a short determination of disability status only, rather than a remedy decision.

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.
