Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal held that Mrs E Bell’s victimisation claim was withdrawn by consent. It then found that her disability discrimination claims succeeded, including indirect discrimination under section 19 of the Equality Act 2010, failure to make reasonable adjustments under section 20(1), (3) and (6), discrimination arising from disability under section 15, and harassment under section 26.
The tribunal also found that the claimant’s constructive unfair dismissal claim under sections 94 and 95 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 was well founded and succeeded. The judgment does not set out the factual reasoning in detail because the reasons were given orally at the hearing and written reasons were not provided in the written record.
No remedy was determined in this decision. The tribunal recorded that a separate remedy hearing had been listed for 14 November 2024 at Manchester Tribunal.

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.
