Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Employment Tribunal, sitting in Bristol by video before Employment Judge Youngs with Ms C Monaghan and Mr I Ley, gave a unanimous judgment on Mr D Rzezniczak's disability discrimination claims against Royal Devon University Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust. The tribunal held that direct discrimination succeeded in relation to the removal of homeworking. His direct discrimination complaint about the removal of overtime was dismissed, and his claim for discrimination arising from disability was also dismissed.
On remedy, the tribunal said it was just and equitable to award a 20% uplift because the respondent had failed to comply with the ACAS Code of Practice on Disciplinary and Grievance procedures. It ordered payment of a total of £7,225.64. That sum was made up of £5,000 for injury to feelings, a £1,000 ACAS uplift, and £1,225.64 interest calculated on £6,000 over 932 days at 8%.

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.
