Claimant v Ocado Central Services Limited

The tribunal found the dismissal was fair. The respondent followed a fair procedure and had reasonable grounds for dismissal. The reason for dismissal fell within the statutory potentially fair reasons.

The tribunal found that the unfavourable treatment was not because of something arising in consequence of the claimant's disability. The respondent's actions were not sufficiently connected to the disability to constitute discrimination under section 15 Equality Act 2010.

The tribunal found no provision, criterion or practice that put disabled persons generally, or the claimant specifically, at a particular disadvantage. The respondent's conduct did not constitute indirect disability discrimination.

The tribunal found that the respondent had made reasonable adjustments or that there was no duty to make the specific adjustments claimed. The respondent took appropriate steps to accommodate the claimant's disability.

The tribunal found no breach of contract regarding notice pay. The respondent either paid the appropriate notice or was entitled to dismiss without notice due to gross misconduct or other lawful grounds.
