Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMr M Thornley's claims against Lidl GB were heard at the East London Hearing Centre on 22, 23, 24, 28 and 29 March 2023, with the judgment issued on 26 May 2023. The tribunal comprised Employment Judge S Park with Ms T Jansen and Mrs B K Saund as members.
The tribunal dismissed the claimant's disability harassment claim and his claim that the respondent failed to make reasonable adjustments. Both disability discrimination claims therefore failed in full. The judgment records no monetary award for these claims.
The claimant's unfair dismissal claim also failed and was dismissed. His holiday pay claim failed and was dismissed as well. No remedy was recorded for either claim.
The claimant's unpaid wages claim was struck out at the beginning of the hearing because he had failed to comply with the tribunal's order to provide further information about that claim. No financial award was made.

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.
