Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal upheld one element of the claimant's reasonable adjustments claim, finding that from 19 June 2024 the respondent failed to implement an agreed adjustment that the claimant could work alone when plastering, with other operatives only entering the same room as him if necessary. The remaining reasonable adjustments complaints were dismissed as not well-founded.
The Tribunal also dismissed the claimant's complaints of unfavourable treatment because of something arising in consequence of disability, harassment related to disability, and victimisation, finding each of those complaints not well-founded.
The respondent was ordered to pay £9,000 as compensation for injury to feelings, together with interest of £1,144 calculated under the Employment Tribunals (Interest on Awards in Discrimination Cases) Regulations 1996. The claimant was directed to provide details and supporting evidence of his claim for financial loss to the respondent, with a further remedy hearing to be listed if the parties cannot agree the amount.

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.
