Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt the preliminary hearing on 26 August 2026, Employment Judge Gidney considered disability status in Abdul Wahid’s claims against the Commissioners for His Majesty’s Revenue and Customs. By consent, the tribunal found that Wahid was disabled at all material times by anterior cruciate ligament damage to his right knee within s.6 Equality Act 2010.
The tribunal found that Wahid was not disabled by stress/anxiety and/or depression during the material period, February 2024 to April 2025. It therefore dismissed his claims of failure to make reasonable adjustments under ss.20-21 and discrimination arising from disability under s.15 insofar as they relied on that mental impairment.
The tribunal directed that both types of claim based on Crohn’s Disease and anterior cruciate ligament damage to the right knee should proceed to trial. Those claims were not determined on their merits in this judgment. No monetary remedy was recorded.

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.
