Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt this preliminary hearing the tribunal found that the Claimant's employer was Adecco UK Ltd and that she was employed by Adecco UK Ltd from 31 January 2018 to 23 October 2020. It also found that at the relevant time she was a disabled person under section 6 of the Equality Act 2010 by reason of bronchiectasis and mild emphysema described as COPD, but not by reason of osteoarthritis in her left hip or osteopenia.
The tribunal dismissed as out of time the complaints concerning alleged failure to allow the Claimant to work from home, both under Regulation 5 of the Agency Workers Regulations 2010 and as failure to make reasonable adjustments under sections 20 and 21 of the Equality Act 2010. It also dismissed as out of time the Regulation 13 Agency Workers Regulations claim concerning access to employment.
The judgment recorded that the remaining claims were to proceed to a final hearing. No monetary remedy was awarded in this preliminary 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.
