Ms Laura Halsall of Counsel For the v Mr James Barron - Solicitor — 2020

The Tribunal, sitting at Manchester before Employment Judge A M Buchanan with non-legal members Mr A G Barker and Ms B Hillon, unanimously held that the claimant's claim of discrimination arising from disability under sections 15 and 39(2) of the Equality Act 2010 was well-founded. It also unanimously held that the unfair dismissal claim under sections 94 and 98 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 was well-founded. The written judgment records that the claimant was entitled to a remedy on each claim.

The judgment does not set out the oral reasons in the written record. It states that reasons were given orally at the hearing and that written reasons would not be provided unless requested within 14 days. The only further material recorded is that terms of settlement on remedy had been agreed and noted on the tribunal file.

On remedy, the Tribunal adjourned the matter until 4:00pm on 3 October 2020 to allow those agreed settlement terms to be carried into effect. The judgment further records that if neither party applied to restore the matter for a remedy hearing by that date, the question of remedy arising from the judgment would stand dismissed without further order. No monetary award is recorded in the written judgment.
