EAT DISABILITY DISCRIMINATION
Reasonable adjustments
Section 4A(1) and (3) of the Disability Discrimination Act 1995.
The Tribunal found that employer had failed to make a reasonable adjustment when it gave the Claimant a 12 month written warning for leaving work early without asking for or obtaining permission. On appeal, the Employment Appeal Tribunal held: no basis in fact for the Tribunal’s conclusion that difficulty in asking for such permission was an effect of the Claimant’s disability, no basis for holding that the Respondent should have known that it was and, further, the Tribunal ought to have found that the Respondent came within the provisions of section 4A(3) of the DDA so no duty to make reasonable adjustments was imposed. Eastern and Coastal Kent PCT v Grey [2009] IRLR 429, discussed.
