Augustin Matusoiu
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt a public preliminary hearing on 27 May 2026, Employment Judge Bloch KC determined whether Augustin Matusoiu had a disability within section 6 of the Equality Act 2010 during the period relevant to his claims, from July 2023 until April 2024. The tribunal found that he did not have a disability as defined by section 6 during that period.
Accordingly, the tribunal dismissed the claimant's claims under sections 19, 20 and 26 of the Equality Act 2010. The judgment recorded no monetary remedy. Reasons were given orally at the hearing, and the written judgment contains no further findings or reasoning.

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.
