Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal considered whether the claimant met the definition of disability under s.6 Equality Act 2010 for the relevant period. The claimant relied on anxiety and depression, with medical documents including talking therapy letters, fit notes referring to work-related stress, occupational health referral material, and her own impact statement.
The tribunal accepted that from February 2023 the claimant had mental impairments of depression and anxiety which had a substantial adverse effect on normal day-to-day activities. It found that these effects continued beyond her dismissal in December 2023, and held that she was disabled from February 2023 to beyond December 2023.
The judgment did not decide the substantive discrimination allegations or any 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.
