The EAT dismissed an appeal against strike out of an employment claim for failure to actively pursue it, holding the tribunal applied the correct two-stage approach.
The claimant did not establish that refusal of the requested adjustment prevented him from making any further or different submission on a material matter; Castano is binding and claimant was not 'designated' for health and safety purposes under section 44 ERA; Tribunal's error on detriment was academic as claimant was not protected by section 44(1) ERA.

Sharma v University of Nottingham [2025] EWCA Civ 1457 (14 November 2025)
Court of Appeal upheld refusal of advance reasonable-adjustments orders for an EAT appeal, holding the hearing was being misunderstood and fairness could be managed at the time.
The tribunal erred in law by failing to properly apply the comparator test and causation for direct discrimination, erred in finding substantial disadvantage from the PCP without evidence, and erred in finding a single course of conduct and extending time without sufficient reasons; the claims for discrimination and reasonable adjustments are dismissed, and the issue of extension of time is remitted to the tribunal.

The EAT dismissed an employee’s disability discrimination appeal, upholding findings that redeployment, training, delay, or helpdesk placement were not reasonable adjustments.
The judge below exercised her discretion properly, considered all relevant factors including medical evidence, procedural fairness, and prejudice, and was not arguably wrong in refusing to extend time or dismissing the applications regarding the respondent's solicitors. No compelling reason or real prospect of success was shown for the appeal.
