Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMrs K Weight brought a disability discrimination claim against Cherish UK Ltd. The tribunal held that the respondent contravened s.39(5) of the Equality Act 2010 because it failed to provide the claimant with a period of homeworking on 1 October 2020.
The tribunal did not accept the claimant's remaining reasonable adjustment allegations. It found that the respondent had not contravened s.39(5) Equality Act 2010 in any other respect, and those further claims were dismissed.
On remedy, the tribunal awarded the claimant £6,331 for discrimination. That sum was made up of £5,000 for injury to feelings, £862 for loss of earnings, and £469 interest.

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.
