Case Summary

The claimant was found to have been unfairly dismissed and awarded a basic award of £3360, though the compensatory award was reduced to nil. The tribunal also found the respondent failed to make reasonable adjustments regarding the claimant's attendance at team meetings in October, November 2023 and March 2024, awarding £1140 for injury to feelings plus £202 interest, totalling £4702. The wrongful dismissal claim was dismissed.

Why this outcome?

Dismissal found fair

The claimant was unfairly dismissed because the respondent failed to follow a fair procedure, though the compensatory award was reduced to nil for reasons stated in the liability judgment. The respondent also failed to make reasonable adjustments regarding the claimant's attendance at team meetings, as they did not take adequate steps to ensure accessibility or offer alternative attendance methods such as video participation.
