Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a record of a preliminary hearing before Employment Judge Tynan sitting alone on 1 April 2025. The tribunal dealt only with whether the claimant had established disability for the purposes of section 6 Equality Act 2010 during the relevant period, stated as September 2021 to 10 May 2024. It found that he had failed to do so on the balance of probabilities in relation to psoriasis and/or hearing loss.

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.
