Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt Watford by Cloud Video Platform on 25 April 2022, Employment Judge J Lewis heard Tanya Fiford-Beadle's disability discrimination claim against Buckinghamshire Council. The written judgment records that the claimant applied to amend the claim to add disability-related harassment and further grounds under s.20 EqA 2010, but that application was refused.
The tribunal dismissed the pleaded claims of direct disability discrimination under s.13 EqA 2010, discrimination arising from disability under s.15 EqA 2010, and failure to make reasonable adjustments or provide an auxiliary aid under s.20 EqA 2010. It found that those claims were out of time and that it was not just and equitable to extend time for presentation. The written record does not set out any merits findings on the underlying allegations because the claims were disposed of on limitation.

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.
