On a preliminary hearing, the Employment Tribunal dismissed the claimant's claims of disability discrimination, disability-related harassment, and failure to make reasonable adjustments on the ground that the claimant failed to prove she was a disabled person during the relevant period (19 December 2023 – 2 October 2024). The claims of victimisation and whistleblowing detriment were allowed to continue.

The claimant failed to prove that she was a disabled person during the relevant period, which is a necessary precondition for disability discrimination, harassment related to disability, and reasonable adjustment claims under the Equality Act 2010.
