Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt a public preliminary hearing, the Tribunal found that Mr Grzegorz Surma was not a disabled person as defined by section 6 Equality Act 2010 because of Mysophobia at the relevant times. It therefore dismissed his complaints of failure to make reasonable adjustments and harassment related to disability insofar as they concerned Mysophobia.
The Tribunal found that Mr Surma was a disabled person as defined by section 6 Equality Act 2010 because of a lumbar spine injury between 19 December 2024 and 2 November 2025. His complaints of failure to make reasonable adjustments and harassment related to disability concerning that injury were permitted to proceed. The judgment made no final determination of those complaints and recorded no monetary 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.
