Mr J Gee v J F Renshaw Ltd (In Administration): 2410939/2023
JUDGMENT
[1]The claimant’s claim of direct discrimination on grounds of disability contrary to Section 13 and his claim of discrimination arising from disability contrary to Section 15 of the Equality Act 2010 which pertain to the rejection of his job application on 20 June 2023 are well founded and succeed.[2]For injured feelings the Tribunal awards the claimant £8,000. The claimant is entitled to interest on the above awards at the rate of 8% per annum. The award for injury to feelings was therefore increased to £9,710.[3]No award was made for financial loss.[4]The claimant’s claims of direct discrimination on grounds of disability contrary to Section 13 and his claims of discrimination arising from disability contrary to Section 15 of the Equality Act 2010 which pertain to his dismissal on 26 November 2020 and the rejection of his job application on 28 June 2021 were presented out of time on the 28 September 2023. They were also not presented within such other period as was just and equitable. Pursuant to Section 123(a) of the Equality Act 2010 the Tribunal has no jurisdiction to hear these claims and they are dismissed on this basis. Judge Cowx 16 January 2026
