Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal upheld the claimant's claim for notice pay. It found that the dismissal was in breach of contract because the respondent conceded that the claimant was entitled to one month's notice. To the same extent, the tribunal also found an unlawful deduction from wages and awarded £1,507.60.
All other claims were dismissed. These included claims concerning reasonable adjustments, indirect disability discrimination, discrimination arising from disability, disability harassment, victimisation, indirect discrimination on grounds of race or religion, harassment on grounds of race or religion, and a claim relating to outstanding holiday pay under the Working Time Regulations 1998 / unlawful deduction from wages.
The tribunal expressly found that the race and religion claims were out of time as well as unsuccessful on their merits. It also recorded that one reasonable adjustments complaint would have succeeded if it had been brought in time, namely the complaint that the respondent failed to allow the claimant additional time for appointments with customers.

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.
