ET - please can you help me understand what this outcome means?

[etquery]

I have, reluctantly, brought a claim of disability discrimination (including failure to make reasonable adjustments) against my employer. I am a litigant in person.Today we did our closing submissions - the Judge was going to give his verdict tomorrow but has now said he will write with them mid August.

We had to swap our written submissions half an hour before we gave them verbally. That was when I was notified that the Respondent 'concedes the claim of discrimination arising from disability' in one of the issues (there are a few). They have agreed to a remedy hearing in September. I am not really sure what this means in practice (tried to google/chat GPT but no WIFI- now I'm home still none the clearer). I know its the Judges verdict that matters - could still loose all the others. If the Judge upheld their argument and I was just successful on this one claim I presume the remedy hearing would probably give a smaller amount of compensation than if you were successful on them all?

And is it now too late to reach a settlement? Sorry for all the questions - not sure what the process is. Without a lawyer it's hard. Wondered if any of you had any thoughts/experience. Thanks

They have admitted disability discrimination on one claim. There will be a remedy hearing to decide how much compensation you will receive. Compensation is dependent on the losses you have suffered as a result of the discrimination and any injury to your feelings, not the number of instances of discrimination you can prove. Whether the judge finding against you on a particular claim affects the level of compensation therefore depends on whether that particular claim is linked to some of your claimed losses. You can still settle with your employer if you can reach agreement with them.
