Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMs L Olley brought automatic unfair dismissal claims under s100(1)(c) and s100(1)(d), a wrongful dismissal claim, direct disability discrimination and discrimination arising from disability claims, and a harassment claim against Uniform 7 Limited. The tribunal dismissed the automatic unfair dismissal claims and the disability discrimination claims, and held that the wrongful dismissal claim succeeded.
The harassment claim succeeded only in part. The tribunal found that part of the respondent's raising of communication difficulties on 28 June 2022, namely the queries about a communication barrier, was unwanted conduct related to autism and had the reasonable effect of creating a humiliating environment for the claimant.
On remedy, the respondent was ordered to pay one week of pay in lieu of notice of £180 gross for wrongful dismissal, 12.5% of one year's pay flowing from the harassment totalling £1,310.40 including interest, and an injury to feelings award of £2,320 including interest, making a total award of £3,810.40.

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.
