The Claimant in the ET proceedings was employed as a Contract and Supplier Manager by the Respondent. He brought claims in the ET for unfair dismissal and discrimination on grounds of age, race and disability, breach of contract, unauthorised deduction of wages and (subsequently) victimisation. The ET struck the claims on the basis that the Claimant had conducted the proceedings unreasonably and was no longer actively pursuing his claims. His appeal to the EAT was allowed, the date of which was set for September 2026. The Claimant made an application for reasonable adjustments to be made to the procedure before the EAT on account of his disabilities. On the basis of these disabilities and impairments, the Claimant sought an extensive menu of adjustments. His application was refused - the Claimant had misunderstood the way in which appeal hearings are conducted, including the fact that the hearing would only last one day and would not involve any cross examination or live evidence. The Claimant appealed to the Court of Appeal.

The appeal was dismissed. The EAT was right to decline to order the adjustments requested by the Claimant.
