Claimant v Theatre Royal Windsor
Outcome
Individual claims
Preliminary hearing determined claimant had disabilities (dyslexia and depression/anxiety) at material times. Respondent's strike-out application on grounds of no reasonable prospects of success was refused. Substantive discrimination claims not yet determined.
Facts
This was a preliminary hearing to determine disability status and consider the respondent's strike-out application. The claimant was self-represented and claimed to have dyslexia and depression/anxiety. The respondent, represented by counsel, applied to strike out the claim on grounds of no reasonable prospects of success.
Decision
The tribunal found that the claimant had two disabilities at the material times: dyslexia and depression/anxiety. The respondent's application to strike out the claim on the basis it had no reasonable prospects of success was refused. The case will proceed to full hearing.
Practical note
The tribunal found sufficient evidence of disability status (dyslexia and mental health conditions) to allow the discrimination claim to proceed despite the respondent's strike-out application.
