Disability Discrimination – Compensation
The Employment Tribunal (‘the ET’) allowed the Claimant’s claim for disability and awarded compensation, including compensation for injury to feelings. The Respondent below (‘R’) appealed. R argued that the ET had erred in law in finding that if R had made reasonable adjustments, there was a 30% chance that the claimant would have returned to work, and that the ET had erred in law in two respects in making its award for injury to feelings.
The Employment Appeal Tribunal (‘the EAT’) rejected those arguments. The EAT held that the ET was entitled to reach the decisions which it did in each of three relevant respects.
