Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal upheld Ms Anderson's claim for unfair dismissal. It also upheld her disability discrimination claims brought under section 15 and sections 20 and 21 of the Equality Act 2010.
The tribunal dismissed the claim for disability-related harassment under section 26 of the Equality Act 2010. Reasons were given orally at the hearing, and the written judgment records the outcomes without setting out the tribunal's detailed reasoning.
The parties agreed that the basic award for unfair dismissal was £1,984.23 and that total compensation for financial and non-financial losses arising from unfair dismissal and disability discrimination was £35,407.19. The respondent was ordered to pay £37,391.42 in total.

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.
