Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt Newcastle on 27 February to 3 March 2023, Employment Judge Aspden sat with Mr SJ Lie and Ms A Tarn. The tribunal gave its reasons orally at the hearing and later recorded a unanimous judgment in Mr W D Dawson's case against Wasdell Manufacturing Limited.
The tribunal dismissed on withdrawal the complaints of direct and indirect disability discrimination, the victimisation complaints, the section 15 complaints other than the complaint about dismissal, and the harassment complaint relating to the disciplinary procedure. Those complaints therefore did not proceed to a merits determination.
The tribunal then considered the remaining complaints of disability discrimination and disability-related harassment. It found those remaining complaints were not well founded and dismissed them. The written decision records no monetary award or other remedy.

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.
