Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a unanimous liability judgment in the case of Mr B Barbarossa v FCC Environment UK Limited, heard at Watford by hybrid hearing on 11, 12 and 13 March 2024, with further consideration in chambers on 20 May 2024. The tribunal recorded that it was dealing with liability only.
The claimant's complaint of direct discrimination on grounds of disability under section 13 of the Equality Act 2010 was found not well founded and was dismissed. The tribunal also dismissed the complaint of failure to make reasonable adjustments under sections 19 and 20 of the Equality Act 2010.
The tribunal upheld the claimant's complaint of discrimination arising from disability under section 15 of the Equality Act 2010 and held that it succeeded. The written record does not set out any remedy or compensation, and it notes that written reasons would not be provided unless requested within 14 days of the decision being sent.

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.
