Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

Employment Judge David Harris, sitting alone in Swansea, found that the claimant succeeded in her claims that the respondent failed to comply with the duty to make reasonable adjustments under sections 20, 21 and 39(5) of the Equality Act 2010, and that her dismissal on 20 May 2025 was unfair. Claims of breach of contract, unlawful deduction from wages and discrimination arising from disability were dismissed upon withdrawal, the GDPR claim was dismissed for want of jurisdiction, and the harassment claim under section 26 EqA 2010 was dismissed.

The Tribunal awarded £12,100 for injury to feelings in respect of the failure to make reasonable adjustments and a compensatory award of £1,689.83 for unfair dismissal (loss of earnings 20 May to 31 August 2025 of £1,384.35 gross plus £305.48 loss of statutory rights). Interest of £303.75 was awarded at 4% from 24 May 2025 to 11 December 2025. The total award was £14,093.58.

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.
