EAT SUMMARY
Was the Tribunal entitled to find that the claimant was disabled within the meaning of the Disability Discrimination Act 1996? In particular, did the Tribunal err in its approach to coping strategies?
The EAT held that the Tribunal did misunderstand the significance of coping strategies. Since that error may have affected the Tribunal’s conclusion that the claimant was disabled, the appeal was upheld and the matter remitted to the Tribunal for reconsideration.
