Arnold Clark Automobiles Ltd

Case Summary

The claimant, employed by Arnold Clark Automobiles since 1992, claimed disability status based on anxiety and panic attacks and complained of failure to make reasonable adjustments and discrimination arising from disability, with alleged discriminatory acts occurring in May 2025. The tribunal found that the claimant was not a disabled person within the meaning of section 6 of the Equality Act 2010 in May 2025.

The tribunal found that the claimant's anxiety and panic attacks, whilst real, did not have a substantial and long-term adverse effect on his ability to carry out normal day-to-day activities when account was taken of coping strategies he had developed, such as breathing techniques and mindfulness, and he did not meet the statutory definition of disability under section 6 of the Equality Act 2010.
