Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

This was a preliminary issue hearing before Employment Judge Laidler at Bury St Edmunds by CVP on 17 February 2022. The tribunal considered whether the claimant fell within the meaning of section 6 of the Equality Act 2010 at the material time.

The tribunal found that the claimant had not satisfied it that he was disabled within the meaning of the Equality Act 2010. As a result, the claimant's discrimination claims were dismissed and were to proceed no further. The written record states that reasons had been given orally at the hearing, and no separate written reasons would be provided unless requested in time.

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.
