Answer
The Employment Tribunal Service case management system does not collect or hold the level of detail of information requested, which could only be obtained from the paper records of each tribunal office.
People with HIV are automatically considered disabled for the purposes of the Equality Act 2010 and afforded all the relevant protections under its provisions, which make it unlawful to discriminate against people because of a disability in matters of employment, education and the provision of goods and services.
