Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal, sitting at Watford before Employment Judge Quill with Mr J Carroll and Mr A Fryer, heard the case on 14 to 25 October 2024. It found that Ms S Clayton had not been constructively dismissed, holding that there was no dismissal within the definitions in section 95(1)(c) Employment Rights Act 1996 or section 39(7)(b) Equality Act 2010.
Because the tribunal found there had been no dismissal, the unfair dismissal complaint also failed and was dismissed. The judgment also dismissed the disability discrimination complaints, including the section 21 Equality Act 2010 complaint alleging a failure to make reasonable adjustments and the section 15 Equality Act 2010 complaint alleging unfavourable treatment because of something arising in consequence of disability.
The harassment complaint related to disability was also dismissed. The judgment records that written reasons had been requested and would be provided separately, but no monetary remedy was awarded in the judgment itself.

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.
