Quote from the tribunal:
9. The claimant presented a Schedule of Loss originally totalling £1,704,824.58 [67]; and an updated Schedule of Loss on 18 November 2021 totalling £2,471,548.06 [1131].
Not a wild rumour - the report says he was claiming this under disability discrimination legislation; when this was disallowed, he tried to seek reemployment - that would permit claiming backpay. Tribunal did not agree to enforce a re-employment order.
