Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was an open preliminary hearing before Employment Judge Alliott at Watford on 21 June 2019. The judgment records that the claimant, Mr S Murphy, brought a disability discrimination claim against Eisai Europe Limited, pleaded as a failure to make reasonable adjustments.
The tribunal found that the claimant was not an employee, worker, or otherwise employed within the meaning of the Equality Act 2010. On that basis, it held that it did not have jurisdiction to hear the disability discrimination claim.
The claim was therefore struck out. The judgment does not record any monetary award or other remedy.

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.
