Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal, sitting at East London Tribunals before Employment Judge Bedeau with members Ms A Berry and Mr R Blanco, heard the claimant's complaints against Colchester (T) Hairdressing Ltd t/a Toni & Guy Colchester over 2-4 July 2024. The claimant brought two disability-related complaints: direct disability discrimination and failure to make reasonable adjustments.
The tribunal dismissed the direct disability discrimination claim as not well-founded. The claim of failure to make reasonable adjustments was found to be well-founded.
The respondent was ordered to pay the claimant a total of £9,826.51, comprising £8,000 for injury to feelings, £568.11 interest on the injury to feelings award (at 8% from 16 August 2023 to 4 July 2024), £1,210 for loss of wages from 23 August 2023 to 1 October 2023, and £48.40 interest on the loss of wages sum (at 8% calculated from the mid-point).

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.
