Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Skehan, sitting at Watford on 28 January 2019, struck out three complaints on the basis that they had no reasonable prospect of success. Two of the struck-out matters were complaints of victimisation and direct discrimination arising from the removal of the claimant's personnel file from the workplace to a domestic address of a member of staff, and the destruction of documents in that file.
The third struck-out complaint was a disability reasonable-adjustments complaint under section 20 Equality Act 2010. The claimant said that requiring her to carry out work where the workload was excessive placed her at a substantial disadvantage because of PTSD, and that the respondent should have put in place a support plan and tasks plan as recommended in occupational health reports, including the report dated 5 July 2017.
The tribunal stated that the remainder of the claimant's complaints were unaffected by the judgment. No remedy or monetary award was recorded in this decision, and the note at the end states that reasons were given orally at the hearing and written reasons would not be provided unless requested.

| Other | Direct discrimination complaint under section 13 Equality Act 2010 arising from removal of the claimant's personnel file to a domestic address and destruction of documents in that file.

| Disability discrimination | Failure to make reasonable adjustments complaint under section 20 Equality Act 2010. The alleged PCP was requiring the claimant to carry out work where the workload was excessive, which she said placed her at a substantial disadvantage because of PTSD; the asserted adjustment was a support plan and tasks plan recommended in occupational health reports, including the report of 5 July 2017. | Struck out | Disability | — |

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.
