Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

Employment Judge King, sitting alone at Watford on 15 September 2023, dismissed the claimant's disability discrimination complaint. The tribunal held that it had no jurisdiction to hear that complaint under s13 Equality Act 2010 because the claimant was not disabled within the meaning of s6 Equality Act 2010 at the relevant time.

The judgment recorded that the claimant's remaining claims still stood. No remedy was assessed or awarded in this decision, which was a preliminary ruling on disability status rather than a final determination of the outstanding claims.

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.
