Claimant v Coventry Rape and Sexual Abuse Centre

The Tribunal found no evidence that the claimant was treated less favourably because of her sex. The complaint of direct sex discrimination under section 13 of the Equality Act 2010 was not well founded and was dismissed.

The Tribunal found no evidence that the claimant was treated less favourably because of her age. The complaint of direct age discrimination under section 13 of the Equality Act 2010 was not well founded and was dismissed.

The Tribunal found the respondent dismissed the claimant because of something arising in consequence of her disability, in breach of section 15 of the Equality Act 2010. The respondent failed to show the treatment was a proportionate means of achieving a legitimate aim.

The Tribunal found that the respondent did not fail to comply with its duty to make reasonable adjustments. The complaint under sections 20 and 21 of the Equality Act 2010 was not well founded and was dismissed.
