Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal at Watford, sitting on 27 and 28 May 2021 before Employment Judge McNeill QC with Mr R. Alldritt and Ms L. Thompson, upheld the claimant’s claim for discrimination arising from disability under section 15 of the Equality Act 2010. The written judgment records that the claimant was awarded compensation in the total sum of £15,005.03.
The award was stated to comprise £11,415.89 for injury to feelings and £3,589.14 for financial losses, and the judgment says that all figures were inclusive of interest. The tribunal ordered the respondent to pay that sum to the claimant.
The tribunal dismissed the claimant’s claims for direct sex discrimination, direct disability discrimination, failure to make reasonable adjustments, and disability-related harassment. The written record does not set out the tribunal’s fuller reasoning because reasons were given orally at the hearing and no written reasons were provided in the published record.

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.
