Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal unanimously dismissed Mr A Donovan's complaint of automatic unfair dismissal for the reason or principal reason that he had made a protected disclosure. It also dismissed his complaint of detriment for making a protected disclosure.
The complaints of failure to make reasonable adjustments for disability and harassment related to disability were dismissed. The victimisation complaint succeeded against Adventure Forest Limited and Ms S Slade but was dismissed against Mr O Pirrong-Harris. Oral reasons were given at the hearing; the written judgment does not record the underlying factual findings or legal reasoning.
Adventure Forest Limited and Ms S Slade were ordered to pay Mr Donovan £12,000 as compensation for injury to feelings and £2,033.10 interest calculated under the Employment Tribunals (Interest on Awards in Discrimination Cases) Regulations 1996, producing a total award of £14,033.10.

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.
