EAT DISABILITY DISCRIMINATION – Disability
The Claimant appealed against an Employment Tribunal decision, on a pre-hearing review, that he did not suffer from a disability within the meaning of the DDA 1995. The decision was upheld. The case had turned on the credibility and reliability of the Claimant’s account of his injury and its effects upon him and the ET did not accept his evidence. No errors of law were identified in the ET’s approach. Criticism of the ET’s failure to refer expressly to the 2006 Guidance was found to be misplaced in circumstances where the Claimant’s credibility and disputed facts lay at the heart of the case.
