The employee was a social worker. After being assaulted in the course of his work, his health deteriorated, and eventually he was dismissed. He claimed disability discrimination. An impairment having been found, and the other conditions being net. The only preliminary issue remaining was whether the employer could establish that he had nevertheless acted reasonably. He had. Had the employer made any reasonable adjustment? The tribunal had rejected the evidence of the applicant on this point. In this case the employee had never been fit enough even for that. Appeal refused.
