Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal found that Mr Farquhar was, at all material times in August 2021, a disabled person within section 6 of the Equality Act 2010. The disability found was a mental impairment with a substantial and long-term adverse effect on his ability to carry out normal day-to-day activities.
The tribunal also found that Miller UK Ltd did not know, and could not reasonably have been expected to know, that Mr Farquhar had that disability. On that basis, the claimant's complaints of unlawful disability discrimination were held not to be well founded.
The disability discrimination claims were dismissed. The reasons were given orally at the hearing, and the written record states that no separate written reasons would be provided unless requested within 14 days.

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.
