Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt a preliminary hearing on 26 March 2021 before Employment Judge Benson, the tribunal decided that Mr J Ford Brown was not, at the relevant time, a disabled person within the meaning of section 6 of the Equality Act 2010. On that basis, all disability discrimination claims were dismissed.
The same judgment recorded that the claims of automatic unfair dismissal under sections 104 and 105 of the Employment Rights Act 1996, and the claim of unlawful deductions from wages under section 13 of the Employment Rights Act 1996, would proceed to a final hearing listed for 4 to 7 October 2021. No remedy was assessed in this judgment.

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.
