Network Rail Infrastructure Ltd employment tribunal cases

Disability Discrimination - Failure to Make Reasonable Adjustments

Heard at Midlands West

The tribunal concluded that the respondent did not fail to make reasonable adjustments because the claimant's request to work from home was not reasonable given the operational needs of the role, particularly the requirement for in-person attendance to perform health and safety assessments, supervise technicians, and conduct performance management meetings.

Unauthorised Deductions from Wages

Heard at Bristol

The respondent made unauthorised deductions from the claimant's wages due to erroneous grade changes and pay rate adjustments, and the claim was well-founded.

Not specified

The claim was struck out because the claimant failed to actively pursue the proceedings or respond to the Tribunal's warning letter.

Disability discrimination

The claim was dismissed because the claimant falsely claimed an early‑conciliation exemption that did not apply, breaching Rule 13(2).

Unfair dismissal

Heard at Southampton

The tribunal upheld the unfair dismissal claim and partially upheld race harassment allegations, but dismissed the disability, direct race discrimination and victimisation claims.
