Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal sat at Southampton by CVP on 19-21 November 2024 before Employment Judge Scott with Tribunal Members Bompas and Fellowes. Mrs R Dunn appeared in person and Fibretech Fabrications Limited was represented by Mr Reed, DAR HR.
The tribunal held that the claimant's automatic unfair dismissal claim was not well founded and did not succeed. It also held that the claim for failure to make reasonable adjustments under sections 20 and 21 of the Equality Act 2010 was not well founded and did not succeed. The claim for discrimination arising from disability under section 15 of the Equality Act 2010 was well founded and succeeded.
For the successful disability discrimination claim, the respondent was ordered to pay £8,170.50. That figure was made up of £2,568.50 for past losses, £5,000 for injury to feelings, and £602 interest. The written record states that the tribunal gave reasons orally at the hearing and that written reasons would not be provided unless requested.

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.
