EMPLOYMENT TRIBUNALS (SCOTLAND) Case No: 8001244/2024 5 Held in Glasgow on 3, 4, 5, 6 & 7 February 2025 Employment Judge P O’Donnell Mr S Waton Claimant 10 In Person Clydesdale Bank plc t/a Virgin Money Respondent 15 Represented by: Ms L MacDonald - Solicitor

JUDGMENT OF THE EMPLOYMENT TRIBUNAL The judgment of the Employment Tribunal is that the claims of unfair dismissal and 20 discrimination arising from disability are not well-founded and are hereby dismissed.

REASONS Introduction

1. The claimant has brought complaints of unfair dismissal under s94 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 and discrimination arising from disability under 25 ss15 and 39(2)(c) of the Equality Act 2010. Both claims relate to the claimant’s dismissal.

2. The respondent resists both claims; they do not concede that the claimant is disabled as defined in s6 of the Equality Act; they say that the claimant’s dismissal was fair; they argue that the claimant’s dismissal was not an act of 30 discrimination but, if it was, they sat that it was objectively justified.
