Lawson v Virgin Atlantic Airways Ltd (Disability Discrimination): EAT 12 Feb 2020

The Employment Appeal Tribunal allowed an appeal by the Claimant against a finding made at a Preliminary Hearing that he was not disabled within the meaning of section 6 of the Equality Act 2010 as at 20 May 2017, the date of his dismissal. The Employment Tribunal should not have determined the issue arising under paragraph 2(1)(b) of Schedule 1 to the Act on the basis of the Respondent’s actual or constructive knowledge. That issue was remitted to the same constitution of the Employment Tribunal to be re-determined.
