Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal sat at Croydon by Cloud Video Platform on 29 and 30 September 2021 before Employment Judge Nash, Ms J Saunders and Mr J Hutchings. The claimant, Mr A Bentley, was represented in person and by Mr S Buchan of the Richmond Fellowship. The respondent, Academy Two Ltd, was represented by counsel.
The judgment records three conclusions only. The tribunal found that the respondent did not directly discriminate against the claimant because of his disability under section 13 Equality Act 2010. It also found that the respondent did not subject the claimant to discrimination arising from his disability under section 15 Equality Act 2010.
The tribunal further found that the respondent did not fail to comply with a duty to make reasonable adjustments under section 20 Equality Act 2010. No separate remedy was awarded because all claims were dismissed.
The written record states that reasons were given orally at the hearing and that written reasons would not be provided unless requested within 14 days. The extracted text therefore contains the tribunal's operative decisions but no fuller explanation of the evidence or reasoning beyond those conclusions.

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.
