Disability Discrimination : Section 15 – ‘I allowed an appeal against the dismissal of the Claimant’s claim of discrimination contrary to section 15 of the Equality Act 2010. I held that the Employment Tribunal had erred in its interpretation of section 15 by imposing too stringent a causal link between the Claimant’s disability and the unfavourable treatment to which she was subjected by the Respondent. I also held that on the true construction of section 15, the only decision open to the Employment Tribunal was that the claim succeeded.’
