Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a preliminary hearing at Newcastle by CVP on 17 March 2025 before Employment Judge A Stewart sitting alone. The claimant, Mr J C Sutherland, was represented by Mrs C Trayers of counsel and the respondent, Technical Services Group Ltd t/a TSG, by Mr D Flood of counsel.
The tribunal held that the claimant suffered from a mental impairment which had a substantial and long-term effect on his ability to carry out normal day-to-day activities, so he met the definition of disability in section 6 of the Equality Act 2010 at the material time. Full reasons were given orally at the hearing, and the parties did not request written reasons. The extract does not record any monetary award or any further substantive liability decision.

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.
