Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

At a preliminary hearing in Manchester by CVP on 17 February 2025, Regional Employment Judge Franey sitting alone determined a disability issue in Mrs A Naz's claim against The Wise Group Limited. The tribunal found that, between 8 August 2022 and 22 June 2023, the claimant was a disabled person within section 6 Equality Act 2010.

The disability finding was made by reference to the combined effects of the physical impairments identified in the judgment: sleep apnoea, water retention, lower back pain, lower joint pain and asthma. The written record does not set out any further liability findings, and it does not record any monetary award or other remedy.

The judgment is expressly a preliminary hearing decision. No dismissal or determination of substantive discrimination allegations is recorded in the provided text, and no separate costs or compensation assessment is included.

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.
