Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMiss Tanya Langston withdrew the allegations of direct disability discrimination, discrimination arising from disability and disability-related harassment concerning Mr David Gray at issue 4.2.6.3, including allegations repeated under other heads of claim. Those allegations were dismissed on withdrawal.
The Tribunal found that the remaining claims of direct disability discrimination, discrimination arising from disability and disability-related harassment were not well founded and dismissed them. It also found the direct sex discrimination claims not well founded and dismissed them. The Tribunal did not determine whether any mental health condition constituted a disability under section 6 and Schedule 1 of the Equality Act 2010, and made no finding that it did.
The unfair dismissal claim was not well founded and was dismissed. The Tribunal stated that, had reductions for contributory fault or under Polkey been necessary, each would have been 100%. It also stated that, had it been necessary to determine the jurisdiction issue, it would have found every claim except unfair dismissal out of time and would not have considered it just and equitable to extend time. No monetary remedy was awarded or recorded.

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.
