Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal, sitting at London South by CVP before Employment Judge Hindmarch with lay members Ms J Forecast and Mr T Harrington-Roberts, determined that the Claimant's employer was the First Respondent, Team W Ltd. Claims of direct disability discrimination were found not well-founded and were dismissed.
One complaint of unfavourable treatment because of something arising in consequence of disability succeeded: the First Respondent excluded the Claimant from redundancy consultation meetings between 26 July 2022 and 1 August 2022. The remaining complaints of unfavourable treatment because of something arising in consequence of disability were not well-founded and were dismissed.
The First Respondent was ordered to pay the Claimant a total of £14,512.14, comprising financial losses of £4,268.33 with interest of £350.35, and injury to feelings of £8,500.00 with interest of £1,393.46.

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.
