Claimant v Jigsaw Homes Group Ltd

Preliminary hearing addressed only whether claimant had the disability of anxiety and depression. Tribunal found the claimant did not have a mental health impairment in the form of anxiety and depression at the relevant time, being concerned with cancer-related worry rather than clinical anxiety or depression until after January 2024.

Preliminary hearing on disability status only. Tribunal found the claimant was not disabled by anxiety and depression during the relevant period of alleged detriments (January 2022 to January 2024), though the respondent accepted he was disabled by cancer.

Preliminary hearing limited to determining disability status regarding anxiety and depression. Tribunal ruled against the claimant on this preliminary issue.

Not determined at this preliminary hearing which addressed only the question of whether anxiety and depression constituted a disability. The tribunal found they did not at the relevant time.

The preliminary hearing was confined to the disability status question and did not determine the substantive victimisation claim related to alleged protected disclosures about dangerous exhaust fumes.

Claimant asserted protected disclosures about dangerous exhaust fumes from January 2022 to January 2024, but this preliminary hearing only addressed whether he was disabled by anxiety and depression, not the whistleblowing claim itself.
