Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal sat in Glasgow on 4, 6 and 7 September 2023 before Employment Judge M Whitcombe, with lay members Mrs EA Farrell and Mr AK Smith. Oral reasons were given on 7 September 2023. The judgment was unanimous.
The tribunal held that all of the complaints formed part of conduct extending over a period for the purposes of section 123(3)(a) of the Equality Act 2010, so they were presented in time and the tribunal had jurisdiction to hear them.
On liability, the tribunal found that the respondent subjected the claimant to disability discrimination in two ways: discrimination arising from disability and failures to make reasonable adjustments. The judgment records both complaints as upheld.
By consent, all issues of remedy were reserved to a separate hearing. The judgment also records that any application for expenses had to be made within 28 days of the judgment being sent to the parties, with the other time limits left unchanged.

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.
