Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

At a preliminary hearing held by video on 15 February and 27 March 2024, the tribunal considered whether the claimant had the protected characteristic of disability during the relevant period.

The tribunal held that the claimant did not have the protected characteristic of disability under section 6 of the Equality Act 2010. Reasons were given orally at the hearing on 27 March 2024, and the written judgment does not record any remedy or monetary award.

The claimant's name was anonymised under Rule 50 of the Employment Tribunal (Constitution and Rules of Procedure) Regulations 2013.

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.
