Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal found that MD Insurance Services Limited had knowledge of Miss S Irving's disability from 21 August 2018. It held that placing her on a Performance Improvement Plan on 24 August 2018 was unfavourable treatment because of something arising in consequence of her disability, so that claim succeeded.
The tribunal also found that the respondent failed to comply with its duty under section 20 of the Equality Act 2010 by not cancelling the Performance Improvement Plan and by not allowing the claimant to work from home from 11 January 2019. That reasonable adjustments complaint also succeeded, and the tribunal recorded that both claims were presented in time.
The judgment states that all other claims failed and were dismissed. It does not record any remedy figures at this stage and instead says the matter will be listed for a remedy 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.
