Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal dismissed the claimant's direct disability discrimination claim under s.13 Equality Act 2010. It found that claim was not made out on the evidence before it.
The tribunal upheld the claim under s.15 Equality Act 2010 for discrimination arising from disability. It found that the respondent discriminated against the claimant for a reason arising in consequence of disability by withdrawing a job offer on 1 October 2021.
The tribunal also upheld the reasonable adjustments claim. It found that the respondent failed to comply with the duty to make reasonable adjustments by failing to arrange for induction to take place at a later date. Judgment on remedy was reserved, so no award was recorded in the written judgment.

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.
