Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt the preliminary hearing on 12 January 2024, the tribunal held that Mr M Lewis was disabled within the meaning of section 6 Equality Act 2010 during the material times because of schizoaffective bipolar disorder and episodic amnesia. By agreement, he was not disabled within the meaning of section 6 in relation to Brugada Syndrome, and the judgment records that the disability discrimination claims were dismissed insofar as they related to that diagnosis.
The tribunal also recorded that the claimant's claim under the Protection From Harassment Act 1997 was dismissed by consent because the Employment Tribunal had no jurisdiction to hear it. The notice pay claim was dismissed on withdrawal by the claimant, and the holiday pay claim was dismissed following withdrawal on 30 August 2023, confirmed at the hearing.
No merits findings or monetary award were made at this hearing. The judgment states that the remaining claims were listed for a full merits hearing on 7 to 10 May 2024 inclusive, and that the dismissal of the Brugada-related disability discrimination claims did not affect the claimant's continuing Equality Act claim under section 26.

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.
