Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal, sitting as Employment Judge Illing with members Mr J Webb and Mr M Rowe, heard the case in the respondent's absence. The tribunal found that at the relevant times the claimant was a disabled person within s.6 Equality Act 2010 by reason of sleep apnoea. The complaint of unfavourable treatment because of something arising in consequence of disability under s.15 EqA was well-founded. The award comprised compensation for financial losses (£23,400 gross) plus statutory interest of £2,697.73, pension loss of £395.88, injury to feelings of £9,000 and interest on injury to feelings of £1,037.59 calculated under the Employment Tribunals (Interest on Awards in Discrimination Cases) Regulations 1996. Compensation for financial losses is to be paid net after deduction of tax and NI; injury to feelings is paid without deduction. Recoupment of £4,201.50 applies to the compensatory element.

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.
