Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMr R Combs brought claims against GCA Domestic Limited that were heard at Manchester Employment Tribunal by CVP on 12 February 2025 before Employment Judge Thompson sitting alone. The tribunal held that the claimant was not disabled at the relevant time within the meaning of section 6 of the Equality Act 2010.
On that basis, the tribunal dismissed the disability discrimination claim for failure to make reasonable adjustments under sections 20 and 21 of the Equality Act 2010. It also dismissed the claim for discrimination arising from disability under section 15 of the Equality Act 2010. No substantive monetary remedy was awarded in this judgment.
The written record also states that the unlawful deduction from wages claim and the direct age discrimination claim were to proceed to final determination. The page containing the decision also includes a standard compliance warning referring to a possible fine for failure to comply with an order, but that was not a remedy awarded on the claims decided in this 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.
