Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal accepted that the claimant was disabled by dyslexia and autism, but found that depression and anxiety were not disabilities for the purposes of the pleaded allegations. It also found that the respondent did not have the relevant knowledge of anxiety or depression at the times relied on.
Several allegations were dismissed as out of time and the tribunal declined to extend time on a just and equitable basis. For the allegations considered on their merits, the tribunal found that key events or PCPs were not established, that some matters were not because of a protected characteristic, and that the pleaded reasonable adjustment disadvantages were not made out.
The harassment complaints were dismissed because the tribunal found the relevant incidents did not happen as alleged, or because specific issues were withdrawn. No monetary remedy was awarded.

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.
