Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal at Ashford heard Mr D W Gregory's disability discrimination claims against the Department for Transport and found that the claims for failure to make reasonable adjustments and discrimination arising from disability succeeded. The claim of indirect discrimination was unsuccessful. The judgment records the decision on 15 August 2019 after hearings on 29, 30 and 31 July 2019 before Employment Judge Freer with lay members Mrs S Dengate and Mr A Brown.
The tribunal ordered the respondent to pay £16,800. That sum was made up of £12,500 for injury to feelings, a £3,000 uplift for failing to comply with the ACAS Code on Disciplinary and Grievance Procedures, and £1,800 interest. The tribunal also made a recommendation that the claimant be permitted to work on sign-only test routes with effect from 19 August 2019. Both parties confirmed that they would not apply for costs.

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.
