Claimant v First West Yorkshire Limited

The tribunal found the dismissal was unfair. The judgment awards both a basic award and compensatory award, indicating the tribunal concluded the respondent failed to follow a fair procedure or acted unreasonably in treating the reason as sufficient to dismiss.

The tribunal was not satisfied that the claimant was treated less favourably because of his age. The evidence did not establish that age was the reason for the treatment complained of.

The tribunal found that the claimant was not subjected to direct disability discrimination. The evidence did not show that he was treated less favourably because of his disability compared to how others were or would have been treated.

The tribunal found the claimant was treated unfavourably because of something arising in consequence of his disability, and the respondent failed to show such treatment was a proportionate means of achieving a legitimate aim.

The tribunal concluded that the respondent applied a provision, criterion or practice that placed the claimant at a substantial disadvantage because of his disability, and the respondent failed to make reasonable adjustments to remove that disadvantage.
