Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal unanimously found that the complaint of unfair dismissal was well founded and succeeded. It directed that a separate remedies hearing would be listed.
The Tribunal found that the discrimination arising from disability allegation relating to September 2021 was out of time, that it was not just and equitable to extend time, and that there was no jurisdiction to hear it. The January 2022 and August 2022 discrimination arising from disability allegations were found to form part of a continuing course of conduct, giving the Tribunal jurisdiction to hear them, but they were not well founded and were dismissed.
The complaints of failure to make reasonable adjustments were not well founded and were dismissed. The harassment related to disability complaints were out of time, time was not extended on just and equitable grounds, and they were dismissed.

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.
