Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal determined a preliminary issue: whether Mrs Payne had a disability at the time of her dismissal on 19 November 2021. It found that she had suffered a stroke in April 2021 and continued to experience aphasia-related difficulties with speech, reading and understanding.
Assessing the position as at November 2021, the tribunal found that the remaining effects were more than minor or trivial and could well continue until at least April 2022. It concluded that the statutory test for disability was met, and the claim was to proceed to a later hearing.

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.
