Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt an Exeter video hearing on 17 March 2026, Employment Judge Smail considered the issue of the claimant's disability on the basis of the document bundle and the claimant's evidence about his medication regime. The respondent did not dispute that the claimant had been disabled with depression from 2008, and with depression and anxiety from 2021, continuing to the date of the hearing.
The tribunal therefore held that the claimant was disabled at all material times for the purposes of the claim. The judgment is confined to that disability issue and does not record any liability finding, remedy, or award.

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.
