Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal unanimously upheld three sets of Equality Act findings. It found that the Respondent harassed Mr Pearson on 22 October 2018, failed to comply with a duty to make reasonable adjustments between 23 October and 5 November 2018, and in February 2019 victimised him and discriminated against him by failing to appoint him to the position of senior support worker.
The tribunal also recorded that other complaints of harassment and discrimination contrary to the Equality Act 2010 were not made out and were dismissed. The reasons were given orally at the hearing, and the written record states that no written reasons would be provided unless requested in time.

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.
