Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

This hearing determined only whether Miss S Mutter had the protected characteristic of disability for the relevant period, identified as 15 January 2018 to 15 March 2019. The claimant said her macromastia caused physical pain and psychological effects, and relied on her own evidence, GP records, a GP letter, and a report from Mr Romics. The tribunal accepted that the claimant had the physical impairment of macromastia and that it caused physical and psychological effects, but it found there was not sufficient evidence of a separate mental impairment.

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.
