Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal dismissed all of Ms Nancy Adane's complaints against London Borough of Havering and Mr Darren Alexander for lack of jurisdiction. For discrimination arising from disability under section 15 of the Equality Act 2010, the allegations at paragraphs 3.3.1 and 3.3.2 of the List of Issues were barred by res judicata and Henderson v Henderson. The allegation at paragraph 3.3.3 was barred by Henderson v Henderson. All section 15 complaints were also presented outside the time limit in section 123, and the tribunal declined to extend time on a just and equitable basis.
The complaints of failure to make reasonable adjustments under sections 20 and 21 of the Equality Act 2010 were dismissed because res judicata and Henderson v Henderson barred the tribunal from hearing them. The separate complaints of harassment related to sex and harassment related to disability under section 26 were each dismissed because of Henderson v Henderson.
The complaints of victimisation under section 27 of the Equality Act 2010 were dismissed because res judicata and Henderson v Henderson barred the tribunal from hearing them. The judgment records no monetary award.

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.
