Facts
Mr Steven Nellis brought claims against Joseph Rowntree Housing Trust for unfair dismissal and failure to make reasonable adjustments for disability. The case was heard over five days by video link. The claimant represented himself while the respondent was represented by counsel. Full merits hearing took place with oral reasons given.
Decision
The tribunal dismissed both the unfair dismissal claim and the disability discrimination claims for failure to make reasonable adjustments. The tribunal delivered its judgment orally at the conclusion of the five-day hearing. Neither claim was upheld.
Practical note
A self-represented claimant was unsuccessful in claims against a housing charity for both unfair dismissal and failure to make reasonable adjustments despite a five-day hearing.
