Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe unanimous decision of the Tribunal was that the claimant was treated unfavourably because of something arising in consequence of his disability, contrary to s15 Equality Act 2010. The treatment identified was that he was selected for redundancy and dismissed.
The Tribunal dismissed the complaints of direct age discrimination and direct disability discrimination under s13 Equality Act 2010, and dismissed the complaint of indirect disability discrimination under s19 Equality Act 2010. It also upheld the claimant's complaint of unfair dismissal. The judgment excerpt does not address remedy or compensation.

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.
