Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal recorded that the hearing took place remotely by video, with the parties' consent, because a face-to-face hearing was not practicable during the covid-19 pandemic and all issues could be determined remotely.
Employment Judge Dunlop found that the claimant was, throughout his employment with the respondent, a disabled person within the meaning of s.6 Equality Act 2010. On that basis, the claim was to proceed to a final hearing. The judgment does not determine liability or remedy on the substantive 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.
