Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal, sitting in Manchester on 6 December 2019 before Employment Judge Whittaker, decided a preliminary issue that the claimant’s daughter, Ley’la Simmonds, was a disabled person during the material time, identified as 15 November 2017 to 8 June 2018. The written judgment records that finding and does not set out any separate substantive remedy for the underlying claims.
The tribunal also ordered Archwood Medical Practice to pay the claimant £600 in costs for the preliminary hearing held on 4 October 2019. The written record states that reasons had been given orally at the hearing and that written reasons would not be provided unless requested within 14 days of the sending of the decision.

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.
