Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal at Manchester, sitting with Employment Judge Batten and lay members J Flynn and Dr B Tirohl, gave its unanimous judgment on the claimant's complaints against Fieldhouse Home Limited. The unfair dismissal complaint was dismissed for lack of jurisdiction because the claimant had less than the qualifying two years' service required to bring that claim.
The tribunal found that the complaints of direct disability discrimination and failure to make reasonable adjustments were well-founded and succeeded. The decision record does not set out detailed reasons, but it records those two disability complaints as successful claims under the Disability Discrimination category.
The tribunal ordered the respondent to pay the claimant a total net sum of £27,397.53. That sum comprised £4,217.40 for past financial losses, £19,750.00 for injury to feelings, £330.90 interest on the past financial losses calculated at 8% from the midpoint of 18 November 2023 to 13 November 2024, and £3,099.23 interest on the injury to feelings award calculated at 8% from 25 November 2022 to 13 November 2024.

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.
