Claimant v Cleveland Fire Authority

The tribunal found the claimant's dismissal was unfair. The complaint was well-founded and the claimant succeeded on this claim, indicating the respondent failed to follow a fair procedure or did not have a fair reason for dismissal.

The tribunal found the claimant's dismissal constituted unfavourable treatment because of something arising in consequence of her disability. This claim succeeded, indicating the respondent could not objectively justify the dismissal as a proportionate means of achieving a legitimate aim.

The claimant brought an additional complaint of unfavourable treatment arising from disability which was not the dismissal itself. The tribunal found this remaining complaint was not well-founded and dismissed it, likely because the treatment was not unfavourable, not because of something arising from disability, or was justified.

The tribunal found the victimisation complaint was not well-founded and dismissed it. This indicates the claimant could not establish she had done a protected act, was subjected to a detriment, or that the detriment was because of the protected act.
