Disability Discrimination Employment Tribunal Cases

Miss Rebecca Clayton brought discrimination and contractual claims against the Secretary of State for Justice. The tribunal upheld her complaint of discrimination arising from disability regarding being informed she was likely to trigger Stage 2 warning procedure, but dismissed her other discrimination claims, reasonable adjustment claims, and withdrawn contractual claims. The respondent was ordered to pay £1,342.82 comprising £1,235 injury to feelings (reduced by 5% for failure to issue a grievance) plus interest.

The claimant's complaint of unfair dismissal was upheld, and the tribunal found that the claimant's complaint of failure to make reasonable adjustments also succeeded. However, the complaints relating to detriment for making a protected disclosure, victimisation, harassment, and unlawful deduction from wages were dismissed. The tribunal awarded a total of £56,621.45 comprising a basic award of £1,929, compensatory award of £42,230, injury to feelings of £11,000, and interest of £1,462.
