Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt the public hearing at East London Hearing Centre on 2 to 5 July 2024, before Employment Judge Gordon Walker with Ms W Blake-Ranken and Mrs S Jeary, the tribunal held that Mr Hales's claim of failure to make reasonable adjustments under sections 20-21 Equality Act 2010 was well founded. It also held that the direct disability discrimination claims about the boots and the bin key were well founded, and that those claims had been presented within the time limit in section 123 Equality Act 2010.
The tribunal dismissed the claimant's other direct disability discrimination claims. It recorded a total award of £12,271.18, made up of £10,000 for injury to feelings, £866.67 interest on injury to feelings, £1,292.40 for loss of earnings, and £112.01 interest on loss of earnings.

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.
