Claimant v CTS Ironmongery Ltd

This claim was not determined at the preliminary hearing and will proceed to a final hearing in accordance with the Case Management Order.

The tribunal found that at the relevant times the claimant was not a disabled person as defined by section 6 Equality Act 2010 because of stress, anxiety, and/or depression. Without disability status, the claim of direct disability discrimination cannot succeed.

The tribunal found that the claimant was not a disabled person as defined by section 6 Equality Act 2010 at the relevant times. This is a threshold issue for reasonable adjustments claims, which therefore failed.

The tribunal dismissed the victimisation complaint. While the specific reasoning is not detailed in this preliminary judgment, it was dismissed alongside the disability-related claims.

The complaint of unfavourable treatment because of something arising in consequence of disability (section 15 EqA 2010) failed because the tribunal found the claimant was not a disabled person at the relevant times.
