Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

At the Liverpool Employment Tribunal, sitting before Employment Judge Barker with Mr D Williamson and Mr S Husain, the claimant Mr M Burke brought claims against Magna Exteriors (Liverpool) Ltd. The tribunal heard the case on 16-19 June 2025 and gave judgment orally at the hearing, with the written record sent on 24 July 2025.

The tribunal found that the complaint of unfair dismissal was well-founded and that Mr Burke was unfairly dismissed. It also upheld one complaint of unfavourable treatment because of something arising in consequence of disability under section 15 Equality Act 2010.

The successful disability-related allegation was that Mr Burke was not consulted about remaining employed when the decision was made to keep the respondent's paint line open. The tribunal dismissed the remaining complaint of unfavourable treatment because of something arising in consequence of disability as not well-founded.

No monetary award is recorded in the written judgment extract provided, and the decision states that written reasons will not be provided unless requested under the tribunal's usual procedure.

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.
