JUDGMENT
It is the decision of the Employment Tribunal that:[1]The claimant is a disabled person within the meaning of S6 of the Equality Act 2010.[2]The claimant’s claim for wrongful dismissal was submitted out of time and is dismissed. _____________________________ Employment Judge Noons Date______14 July 2022_________[1]The claimant’s complaints were presented out of time. It is just and equitable to extend time.[2]The respondent did not fail to make reasonable adjustments for the claimant. That complaint is dismissed.[3]The respondent discriminated against the claimant because of something arising from his disability and in doing so contravened Part 5 Equality Act 2010. That complaint succeeds.[4]The question of remedy (to include the amount the claimant should be awarded by way of damages, if at all) is adjourned to a date to be set by the Tribunal.[5]The parties are to lodge their non-availability to attend a one day in person hearing over the next 6 months within 7 days of receipt of this Judgment. Directions for that remedy hearing will follow.
