Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal sat at Newcastle Employment Tribunal, sitting at Teesside Justice Centre, on 22 to 31 July and 1 to 2 August 2024 before Employment Judge Sweeney, with lay members Claire Hunter and Pam Wright. In this liability judgment, the tribunal recorded that the claimant’s claims were not well-founded and were dismissed. Those claims were direct disability discrimination under section 13 Equality Act 2010, discrimination arising from disability under section 15, failure to make reasonable adjustments under sections 20 to 21, harassment related to disability under section 26, victimisation under section 27, unlawful deduction of wages for November and December 2022, and unfair dismissal under section 98 Employment Rights Act 1996.
The judgment also records a separate complaint of unlawful deduction of wages for August and September 2022, which was dismissed on withdrawal. The written record states that reasons were given orally at the hearing and that written reasons would not be provided unless requested in time. No monetary remedy is recorded in the extracted judgment.

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.
