Case 6020361/2024 · Employment Tribunal
Respondent: Case Number: 6020361/2024 & 6026649/2025 EMPLOYMENT TRIBUNALS Mr S Cooper South Western Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust JUDGMENT 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. The complaint of a failure to make reasonable adjustments is struck out. REASONS In the case management order of 3 September 2025 Employment Judge Livesey directed the Claimant to write to the Respondent with discrete information about the adjustments that he alleged had been agreed to but not adhered to by whom and when. Instead the Claimant sent a lengthy narrative document. On 5 December 2025, the Claimant was given another opportunity to clarify his claim by Employment Judge Rayner, who ordered that he provide concise details of his complaint, in bullet point form, with a word limit of 750 words. He was ordered to do this by 13 January 2026. The Claimant did not respond to this order. By letter dated 21 January 2026 I gave the Claimant a strike out warning because he was not actively pursuing the claim and had not complied with the orders of Employment Judge Livesey and Employment Judge Rayner referred to above. The Claimant was given an opportunity to make representations or to request a hearing, as to why the failure to make reasonable adjustments complaint should not be struck out. The Claimant has failed to make representations in writing as to why this should not be done or to request a hearing. The complaint is therefore struck out. The other complaints made by the Claimant are unaffected. Approved by Employment Judge Volkmer Date:12 February 2026 JUDGMENT SENT TO THE PARTIES ON 23 February 2026 FOR THE TRIBUNAL OFFICE v South Western Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust — 2025

Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe judgment states that the complaint of a failure to make reasonable adjustments was struck out. Employment Judge Livesey had directed the Claimant to provide discrete information about the adjustments alleged to have been agreed but not adhered to, by whom and when, but the Claimant instead sent a lengthy narrative document.
Employment Judge Rayner then gave the Claimant another opportunity to clarify the complaint in concise bullet point form by 13 January 2026. The Claimant did not respond, and after a strike out warning dated 21 January 2026, did not make representations or request a hearing. The tribunal therefore struck out the reasonable-adjustments complaint, while stating that the other complaints were unaffected.

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.
