The tribunal dismissed the claim for discrimination arising from disability under s.15 of the Equality Act 2010.

The tribunal dismissed the reasonable adjustments claim under ss.20 and 21 of the Equality Act 2010. The tribunal found either that the claimant was not placed at a substantial disadvantage by the respondent's provision, criterion or practice, or that the proposed adjustments were not reasonable, or that appropriate adjustments had already been made.

The tribunal dismissed the harassment claim under s.26 of the Equality Act 2010. The tribunal found that the conduct complained of was not related to the claimant's disability, or did not have the purpose or effect of violating his dignity or creating an intimidating, hostile, degrading, humiliating or offensive environment for him.

The tribunal dismissed the victimisation claim under s.27 of the Equality Act 2010. The tribunal found that the claimant had not done a protected act, or that he was not subjected to a detriment because he had done a protected act.
