Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt the hearing before Employment Judge Macey sitting with Mr Mardner and Mr Peart on 27 to 30 November 2023, the tribunal recorded that the claimant withdrew his complaints of unauthorised deductions from wages and failure to pay accrued annual leave in lieu on termination. Those complaints were dismissed upon withdrawal. The claimant's complaint of direct discrimination on the grounds of disability under section 13 Equality Act 2010 was found not well-founded and dismissed.
The tribunal upheld the remaining Equality Act complaints. It found that the respondent failed to comply with the duty to make reasonable adjustments under sections 20 and 21 Equality Act 2010, that the respondent unlawfully discriminated against the claimant by treating him unfavourably because of something arising in consequence of his disability under section 15 read with section 39, and that the respondent victimised the claimant under section 27 read with section 39.
The tribunal also found the unfair dismissal complaint well-founded and held that the claimant was unfairly dismissed. No remedy figure or award is set out in the extracted judgment text.

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.
