Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a preliminary hearing in a disability discrimination case brought by Mrs K Rothney against the Chief Constable of Devon and Cornwall Police. Employment Judge Leverton sat alone and heard the matter by CVP on 27 June 2025.
The tribunal found that, at the relevant times, the claimant was a disabled person within section 6 Equality Act 2010 because of ADHD. On that basis, the complaints of unfavourable treatment because of something arising in consequence of disability, failure to make reasonable adjustments, and harassment related to disability were permitted to proceed.
The complaint of direct disability discrimination was dismissed because the claimant withdrew it. No remedy was awarded or addressed in this preliminary judgment.

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.
