Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMr J Luxford brought disability discrimination claims against HM Land Registry. The case was heard at Hull Employment Tribunal on 13, 16, 17, 18 and 20 December 2024 before Employment Judge James, with Ms J Lee and Mr G Corbett as lay members. Mr Luxford appeared in person, supported by Mrs E Luxford, and the respondent was represented by Mr R Moretto, counsel.
The tribunal dismissed the harassment claim under s.26 Equality Act 2010, the direct discrimination claim under s.13, the unfavourable treatment claims identified at issues 5.1.1, 5.1.2 and 5.1.5 under s.15, and the failure to make reasonable adjustments claim under ss.20 and 21. Those claims were each found not upheld.
For the unfavourable treatment claims at issues 5.1.3 and 5.1.4, which related to home working arrangements, the tribunal said they would have succeeded but for the fact that they were not submitted in time. The tribunal therefore held that it did not have jurisdiction to uphold them under s.123 Equality Act 2010. No monetary award was made.

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.
