Department for Work and Pensions employment tribunal cases

Strike out

The claim was struck out because the claimant did not comply with Tribunal orders and failed to respond to a strike out warning, making a fair trial impossible.

Protected Disclosure (whistleblowing) detriment

Heard at Watford

The claim was dismissed because it was submitted out of time when it was reasonably practicable for it to have been submitted within the statutory time limit, so the Tribunal lacked jurisdiction.

Unfair Dismissal and Disability Discrimination

Heard at Newcastle

The unfair dismissal claims were not well founded, and the tribunal lacked jurisdiction over the Equality Act claims, which were struck out.

Disability Discrimination

Heard at London South

The Tribunal upheld two complaints regarding reasonable adjustments for hybrid working and equipment, but dismissed claims for direct disability discrimination and other reasonable adjustment failures.

Disability discrimination

Heard at Manchester

The claim was dismissed because the claimant did not attend the hearing or provide the required agenda, and no satisfactory explanation for her absence was offered.
