Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt a preliminary hearing, the Tribunal considered whether the claimant met the definition of disability under the Equality Act 2010 for the period 2019 to 21 July 2023. The impairment identified in the judgment was anxiety and depression.
Employment Judge Lloyd found that the claimant had not met the statutory definition of disability for that period. As a result, all complaints alleging disability discrimination under the Equality Act were dismissed, while the claimant's unpaid holiday pay and unfair dismissal claims were left to proceed to a full hearing.

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.
