Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The claimant, Mr Nick Weir, brought disability discrimination complaints against Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. The tribunal found that he was a disabled person for the purposes of s6 Equality Act 2010. The hearing was conducted remotely by CVP over 9, 10 and 13 March 2023, and the decision was given unanimously by Employment Judge G Tobin with lay members Mrs S Allen and Mrs J Costley.

On the substantive claims, the tribunal rejected the direct discrimination complaint under s13 Equality Act 2010 and also rejected the harassment complaint under s26 Equality Act 2010. It upheld the claim under s15 Equality Act 2010, finding that the respondent discriminated against the claimant for something arising from his disability. The judgment does not record any monetary award or separate remedy calculation.

The tribunal then recorded that the case was completed and proceeded to dismiss the proceedings. Written reasons were not provided in the judgment record because reasons had been given orally at the hearing and no request for written reasons was noted in the text provided.

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.
