Case Summary

The claimant brought a claim of direct disability discrimination against Independent Pet Care Limited based on anxiety. The tribunal found that the claimant was not a disabled person as defined by section 6 of the Equality Act 2010 because of anxiety, and therefore dismissed the disability discrimination claim.

Why this outcome?

Claim not well-founded

The tribunal found that the claimant did not meet the definition of a disabled person under section 6 of the Equality Act 2010 on the basis of anxiety, and therefore the disability discrimination claim could not succeed.
