Decision Text

Case Number: 1603762/24 1 EMPLOYMENT TRIBUNALS Claimant: Mr G Jordan Respondent: Newlaw Legal Ltd t/a Newlaw Solicitors Heard at: Cardiff On: 25 April 2025 Before: Employment Judge C Sharp (sitting alone) Representation: Claimant: Mr K Harris (Counsel) Respondent: Ms K Skeaping (Solicitor) JUDGMENT 1. The judgment of the Tribunal is that the Claimant is not disabled as defined under s6 Equality Act 2010 due to ADHD. The Claimant’s claims of direct disability discrimination, discrimination arising from disability, failure to make reasonable adjustments, and harassment relating to disability are dismissed as they are not within the Tribunal’s jurisdiction due to the above finding and require the Claimant to be disabled (including the harassment claim which is expressly predicated on him having this disability). 2. As a result of the above judgment, the parties must agree the estimated length of the final hearing to determine the remaining claim of direct religion/belief discrimination and related case management orders and write to the Tribunal by 9 May 2025. The final hearing will be a judge sitting alone as the Tribunal having discussed the matter today did not consider that non- legal members would bring added value in this case.
