Claimant v Secretary of State for Transport
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal found the complaint of direct disability discrimination was not well-founded and dismissed it on the merits.
The tribunal found the complaint of harassment related to disability was not well-founded and dismissed it on the merits.
The tribunal found the complaint of discrimination arising from disability was not well-founded and dismissed it on the merits.
The tribunal found the complaint well-founded on the merits but it was not presented within the applicable time limit. The tribunal declined to extend time on just and equitable grounds and therefore dismissed the claim.
Facts
Mr Hart brought disability discrimination claims against the Secretary of State for Transport. He alleged direct disability discrimination, harassment related to disability, discrimination arising from disability, and failure to make reasonable adjustments.
Decision
The tribunal dismissed all claims. Three claims failed on the merits as not well-founded. The reasonable adjustments claim was well-founded but was out of time and the tribunal declined to extend time on just and equitable grounds.
Practical note
A well-founded reasonable adjustments claim can still fail if it is presented outside the time limit and the tribunal does not find it just and equitable to extend time.
