Espie v Balfour Beatty Engineering Services Ltd: EAT 30 Nov 2012

EAT Disability Discrimination : Direct Disability Discrimination – Where, in selecting for redundancy, the employer had regard to a period of absence during which there were two reasons for absence, one of which was by reason of a disability and one of which was for another medical reason, the Employment Tribunal did not err in law in concluding that the detriment suffered, by counting the period of absence for a medical reason which did not amount to a disability, did not amount to discrimination on account of a disability.
