JUDGMENT

[1]The claimant’s claim of detriment set out under paragraph 1) a. iii. of the Particulars of Claim and of direct disability discrimination and of automatic unfair dismissal set out under paragraph 6) a. of the Particulars of Claim are dismissed on withdrawal. JUDGMENT[2]The claimant’s application dated 23 June 2020 for reconsideration of the judgment

REASONS

There is no reasonable prospect of the original decision being varied or revoked, because The hearing following which the judgment was issued was held on the afternoon of a day on which I had conducted several preliminary hearings for case management purposes in claims made by the claimant. At each hearing reasonable adjustments were made for the claimant as set out in Paragraph 3.1 of the Case Management Summary under the heading “Other Matters” which had been discussed and agreed with him. The claimant did not ask me for a break to reflect. I put no pressure on him to withdraw the complaints to which the judgment refers. He did not complain at the time about the way this hearing (or any other hearing that day) was conducted by me, nor did he make such a complaint subsequently.
