Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The tribunal determined whether the claimant was a disabled person within the meaning of section 6 Equality Act 2010 at the relevant times. It found that the claimant was not disabled by reason of diverticulitis.

The tribunal also found that, at the relevant times, the claimant was a disabled person because of DVT. The judgment records oral reasons only and does not determine the substantive unfair dismissal or disability discrimination complaints, nor any remedy.

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.
