Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a judgment on a preliminary issue rather than a final determination of liability. Employment Judge Fowell found that Mr Nigel Copleston was disabled at the time of his dismissal on 16 November 2022.
As a result of that finding, the disability discrimination claim was allowed to proceed to a hearing listed for 9 July 2024. The judgment does not determine the merits of the discrimination claim itself and records no monetary award.

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.
