EVIDENCE PATTERN
Every hearing. Every skeleton argument filed hours before. Zero reasonable adjustments granted out of 12 requests. A litigant with ADHD forced into emergency filings because the court system refused to accommodate.
The Applicant has ADHD and autism (Equality Act 2010, s.6). He requested reasonable adjustments 12 times across 6 courts and 10+ judges. Zero were granted. The consequence: every hearing became an emergency. Skeleton arguments filed at 7:32am the morning of the hearing. Electronic bundles filed 48 minutes before. The court then criticised the quality of his submissions.
This pattern satisfies Essop v Home Office [2017] UKSC 27: the statistical disparity (0/12) speaks for itself. Under EA 2010 s.20, the duty to make reasonable adjustments is anticipatory and non-delegable.
