Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal, sitting with Employment Judge Faulkner and lay members Ms H Andrews and Mr R Loynes, heard the case remotely by Cloud Video Platform and gave a unanimous liability decision on 21 January 2021. It found that the Respondent contravened section 39 of the Equality Act 2010 by treating the Claimant unfavourably because of something arising in consequence of his disability.
The successful complaints were the Respondent’s questioning of the Claimant’s wife on 29 April 2019 about the Claimant’s medical treatment, its failure to pay the Claimant on 24 May 2019, and its dismissal of the Claimant with effect from 5 September 2019. Those matters were found to be unfavourable treatment arising from disability.
The Tribunal dismissed the Claimant’s remaining complaints of direct disability discrimination and discrimination arising from disability. The written record states that remedy was not determined at that hearing and would be dealt with at a further hearing agreed with the parties.

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.
