Claimant v Secretary of State for Justice

Claimant's post-concussion syndrome did not satisfy the long-term requirement of s6 Equality Act 2010. Tribunal concluded on the medical evidence available at the material time (by 8 April 2024) that the impairment was not 'likely' to last twelve months. All medical evidence anticipated recovery within weeks/a few months. Claim dismissed as claimant was not a disabled person.

Claim failed because tribunal found claimant was not a disabled person within the meaning of s6 Equality Act 2010 at the material times. Without established disability status, there was no duty to make reasonable adjustments.

Claim relates to use of phrase 'language barrier' by manager Mr Kerr on two occasions in March and April 2024. Respondent contends this was shorthand for difficulty raised by claimant herself and not unwanted conduct related to race. This claim will proceed to full hearing for determination.

Claim relates to alleged PCP of assuming non-native born employees or those whose first language was not English faced a language barrier. Respondent denies applying such a PCP. This claim will proceed to full hearing for determination.
