Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal found that the respondent accepted the claimant was disabled by reason of dyslexia and neurodivergence. Most direct disability discrimination complaints were not made out, and the tribunal did not draw an inference that the complained-of acts were done because of disability.
The reasonable adjustment complaint succeeded only in relation to the requirement to use Adestra. The tribunal found that this PCP placed the claimant at a substantial disadvantage and that reasonable steps had not been taken to address it; the other reasonable adjustment complaints were dismissed.
One harassment complaint succeeded, concerning Mrs Knox's words in a team meeting on 9 June 2023. One victimisation complaint also succeeded, concerning Ms Conetta's email of 12 July 2023. The tribunal dismissed the claimant's remaining complaints as not well-founded.

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.
