Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a preliminary hearing in Bristol before Employment Judge P Cadney on 31 October 2025. The tribunal determined as a preliminary issue that Ms Pogmore was not, at the material times, a disabled person within the meaning of s6 Equality Act 2010.
Because that threshold finding was not met, the claims for failure to make reasonable adjustments under ss.20 and 21 Equality Act 2010, discrimination arising from disability under s15 Equality Act 2010, and harassment contrary to s26 Equality Act 2010 were dismissed.
The claimant’s victimisation claim under s27 Equality Act 2010 is recorded as dismissed on withdrawal. No monetary remedy was recorded in the judgment.

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.
