Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt Manchester on 8 May 2025, Employment Judge KM Ross sitting alone determined a preliminary issue in Mr J Taylor-Brace's case against The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of St Nicholas Blundell Sands. The tribunal held that the claimant was a disabled person by reason of sleep apnoea within the meaning of section 6 Equality Act 2010 from March 2024.
The judgment expressly states that the finding that the claimant was disabled was not a finding that the respondent knew of the disability at the relevant time. No further liability findings or remedy were recorded in the judgment provided.

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.
