Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal, sitting at Manchester before Employment Judge Dunlop with Ms J Beards and Mrs J Byrne, heard the case on 21, 22 and 23 June 2021. It held that the claimant’s claim of discrimination arising from disability under s.15 Equality Act 2010 was well-founded and that the separate claim for failure to make reasonable adjustments under s.20-21 Equality Act 2010 was not well-founded.
The tribunal also held that the claimant’s unfair dismissal claim was well-founded. It did not assess compensation in the judgment itself and said that compensation would be determined at a later remedy hearing.
The judgment records that compensation for unfair dismissal, including basic award and compensatory award, would be reduced by 30% to reflect the claimant’s contributory conduct. The same 30% reduction was to apply to compensation for the successful discrimination claim.

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.
