Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt Bristol Employment Tribunal, sitting with Employment Judge J Bax and lay members Mrs S Maidment and Mrs D England, the case was heard from 20 to 23 January 2025 and judgment was sent on 28 January 2025. The tribunal found that Rabart Decorators Merchants Limited contravened section 39 of the Equality Act 2010.
The claimant succeeded in her claims of discrimination arising from disability and failure to make reasonable adjustments. The record also states that the claimant's other claims were dismissed, but the extract does not identify those claims. Written reasons were not provided unless requested, because reasons were given orally at the hearing.
By consent, the respondent was ordered to pay the claimant £14,250 in respect of injury to feelings. The extract does not split that amount between the individual claims.

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.
