Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal, chaired by Employment Judge Dyal sitting with non-legal members Dr Suja Chacko and Ms Yvonne Batchelor, found that Mr M Valciukas had been dismissed with an effective date of termination of 28 January 2021. His unfair dismissal complaint succeeded. The judgment does not set out any monetary award, and it directed the parties to seek agreement on remedy or, failing that, to proceed to a remedy hearing.
On the disability discrimination complaints, the tribunal found that Kingdom Service Group Ltd had breached the duty to make reasonable adjustments. Although that complaint had been presented outside the primary time limit, the tribunal held that it was just and equitable to extend time. The separate complaint of direct disability discrimination did not succeed and was dismissed.
The tribunal also recorded that the claimant was entitled to compensation in lieu of 39.04 accrued days of annual leave on termination. It issued case management orders for the parties to exchange remedy documents, witness statements, and schedules of loss, and listed the remedy hearing for 3 July 2023 at London South Employment Tribunal.

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.
