Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal found that the Claimant was fairly dismissed and was not wrongfully dismissed. The judgment records that the disciplinary investigation and dismissal followed the circumstances of his absence on 26 and 27 December 2022 and that the claims for unfair dismissal and notice monies failed.
The disability discrimination claims, including direct discrimination, discrimination arising from disability, reasonable adjustments and harassment, were dismissed. In the text provided, the tribunal found that the conduct relied upon did not relate to disability, that the comments and conduct did not have the prohibited purpose or effect, and that there was no sufficient evidence that the relevant matters caused substantial disadvantage.
The tribunal accepted that the Claimant is a Christian but found no less favourable treatment in relation to the religious discrimination allegations. It also found that the Claimant had not made an application to take parental leave with the required notice, and that the alleged detriments were not because of seeking to take advantage of that statutory right.

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.
