Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

This was a preliminary hearing before Employment Judge Leach at Manchester on 27 July 2022. The tribunal decided the preliminary issue of disability status rather than the merits of any liability claim.

The tribunal found that the claimant had a disability at the relevant time, described in the judgment as a mental impairment of reactive depression and acute post-traumatic stress state. The decision was recorded orally at the hearing, and the written record does not set out further reasons.

No monetary remedy was awarded or recorded in the judgment, and no separate substantive liability findings are included in the extracted text.

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.
