Case Summary

The claimant brought claims of direct disability discrimination, discrimination arising from disability, and failure to make reasonable adjustments against Asda Stores Limited. The tribunal found that the claimant is not a disabled person under s.6 of the Equality Act 2010, and accordingly dismissed all three categories of disability discrimination claims.

Why this outcome?

Claim not well-founded

The tribunal found that the claimant does not meet the definition of a disabled person under s.6 of the Equality Act 2010, which is a prerequisite for all three categories of disability discrimination claims. As a result, all disability-related claims failed.
