Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal, sitting at Manchester before Regional Employment Judge Franey with Mr TD Wilson and Ms C Doyle, recorded a unanimous judgment on 26 March 2025. The unfair dismissal complaint was dismissed on withdrawal, so the Tribunal did not determine it on the merits.
The claimant also withdrew the complaint of a breach of the duty to make reasonable adjustments under sections 20 and 21 Equality Act 2010, and that complaint was dismissed on withdrawal. The Tribunal therefore made no substantive findings on that issue in the written judgment record.
The remaining complaint was discrimination arising from disability under section 15 Equality Act 2010. The Tribunal found that complaint was not well-founded and dismissed it. The judgment text does not set out written reasons because reasons were given orally at the hearing.
No monetary award is recorded in the judgment. The written record states that written reasons will not be provided unless a request is made within 14 days of the sending of the decision.

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.
