Case Summary

The claimant, an IT Incident Manager, brought complaints of direct associative disability discrimination, indirect sex discrimination, and indirect disability discrimination following the respondent's refusal of his flexible working request on 10 March 2025. The tribunal heard evidence regarding the claimant's care responsibilities for disabled twins and the respondent's business reasons for requiring office attendance. All three complaints were dismissed as not well founded.

Why this outcome?

Claim not well-founded

The tribunal found that all three discrimination claims were not well founded. The respondent's refusal of the flexible working request was not discriminatory; instead, the refusal was based on legitimate business reasons including detrimental effect on ability to meet customer demands and the need for office collaboration.
