Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a preliminary hearing before Employment Judge Postle at Norwich on 6 May 2022. The tribunal considered whether the claimant's alleged conditions of hearing defect, mild Ménière's disease and anterior fascicular block met the statutory definition of disability under section 6 of the Equality Act 2010.
The tribunal held that those alleged disabilities did not satisfy the definition of disability. As a result, the claimant's claims brought for the protected characteristic of disability were dismissed. The judgment records no monetary award and no further substantive findings on liability or remedy.

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.
