Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningLaura Jenkins brought disability discrimination claims against Capital Recruitment Group Limited heard at Liverpool on 1, 2, 3 and 4 April 2025. The tribunal dismissed the section 15 claim based on the claimant being told she was "let go" and the requirement not to return to work on phased breaks, finding that she was not treated less favourably because of something arising in consequence of her disability.
The tribunal also considered a separate section 15 claim about the requirement not to take additional breaks. It found that this was less favourable treatment because of something arising in consequence of the claimant's disability, but held that the treatment was objectively justified, so that claim was dismissed.
The claimant's reasonable adjustments claim under sections 20-21 Equality Act 2010 was also dismissed. No monetary award was made.

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.
