Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe case was heard at London East Employment Tribunal on 24, 25, 26 and 27 June 2025 before Employment Judge B Beyzade sitting with members Mr L O’Callaghan and Mrs G Forrest. Mr Stephen McGuiness appeared in person and Telent Technology Services Ltd. was represented by counsel. The tribunal gave its judgment orally at the hearing, and the written record states that written reasons would not be provided unless requested in accordance with the notes on the judgment.
The tribunal’s unanimous decision was that the claimant’s complaint of unfair dismissal under sections 94 and 98 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 was not well founded and was dismissed. It also dismissed the claim of direct disability discrimination under section 13 of the Equality Act 2010. The tribunal further dismissed the complaints of failure to make reasonable adjustments under sections 20 and 21 of the Equality Act 2010. No monetary award is recorded in the 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.
