Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant brought complaints of discrimination arising from disability under section 15, indirect discrimination under section 19, failure to make reasonable adjustments under sections 20 and 21, and harassment related to disability. The tribunal held that those complaints were not presented within the applicable time limit and that it was not just and equitable to extend time, so each of those claims was dismissed on limitation grounds rather than on the merits.
The separate victimisation complaint under section 27 was found to have been presented within time. It nevertheless did not succeed, and the tribunal dismissed that complaint. The written record does not set out any monetary award, so no remedy was recorded.

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.
