Outcome

Facts
The claimant was employed by Arthur Financial Limited from 22 November 2017 until 18 July 2024. She has brought disability discrimination claims against both the company and Daniel Faulkner as second respondent. The claimant suffers from multiple physical impairments including endometriosis, pernicious anaemia, Ebstein Barr virus, hypothyroidism, and fibromyalgia.
Decision
This was a preliminary hearing to determine whether the claimant was disabled under the Equality Act 2010. The tribunal found that the claimant was disabled by one or a combination of her five physical impairments throughout the period of employment. The case will proceed to a full merits hearing on the substantive discrimination claims.
Practical note
A preliminary hearing determined disability status based on multiple concurrent physical impairments, establishing the foundation for disability discrimination claims to proceed to full hearing.
