Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal sat at Newcastle Civil and Family Courts and Tribunal Centre on 22, 23 and 24 July 2024 before Employment Judge Heather, with tribunal members Lynn Jackson and Emma Wiles. In a unanimous judgment, it found the complaint of unfair dismissal was well founded, the complaint of direct disability discrimination was well founded, and the complaints of harassment related to disability were well founded. It also recorded that when the proceedings began the respondent was in breach of its duty to provide the claimant with a written statement of employment particulars.
The Tribunal further found that the complaint of breach of contract in relation to notice pay was well founded. The written record states that reasons were given orally at the hearing and that written reasons would not be provided unless requested, and the supplied text does not set out any monetary award or remedy breakdown.

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.
