Ms L Harber v The Intrinsic Care Group Limited — 2026

The Tribunal found that the Respondent, The Intrinsic Care Group Limited, contravened the Equality Act 2010 in respect of claims of direct disability discrimination and discrimination arising from disability brought by Ms L Harber. The hearing took place by video at London South on 10 February 2026 before Employment Judge Corrigan sitting alone. The Respondent had not entered a response, and counsel for the Respondent appeared only in relation to an application to adjourn.

The Respondent was ordered to pay compensation totalling £16,732.06. This comprised financial loss of £4,145.89 (made up of two weeks' loss at £704.62 per week, 3% pension loss for two weeks of £42.28, and an ongoing weekly loss of £103.63 over 26 weeks in the claimant's new role), an injury to feelings award of £10,000, and interest of £2,586.17. No further pension loss was awarded.

Interest was calculated as simple interest at 8% per annum. For the injury to feelings award, interest of £2,141.82 ran from the date of discrimination (9 June 2023) to the date of judgment (10 February 2026), a period of 978 days. For the financial loss award, interest of £444.35 ran from the midpoint of that period (9 October 2024) to 10 February 2026, a period of 489 days. Written reasons were not provided with the judgment.
