Mr S Hards v Masters of Beckenham Limited — 2023

At a hearing on 22 November 2023 before Employment Judge Kelly sitting alone, the tribunal recorded that the claimant’s breach of contract claim for notice pay was dismissed on withdrawal. The written order does not record any monetary award for that claim.

The tribunal also gave an oral decision on disability status. It held that Mr Hards had a disability under the Equality Act at the relevant time, by reason of the effects of a heart attack. That finding was made on the basis of both physical and mental impairments described in sections 1 to 9 of his Disability Impact Statement, which the tribunal accepted as accurate.

The judgment states that written reasons would not be provided unless requested. No further substantive claim outcomes or remedy findings are recorded in the written decision provided.
