Linsley v HM Revenue and Customs: EAT 7 Dec 2018

DISABILITY DISCRIMINATION – Reasonable adjustments
The Tribunal erred in its approach to the Respondent’s policy on parking, which was clearly a relevant factor to be taken into account in determining the claim on reasonable adjustments. The Tribunal also erred in its assessment of the reasonableness of the adjustment in question in that it failed to focus on the particular disadvantage suffered by the Claimant, namely the stress of having to look for a parking place.
The case would be remitted to the Tribunal to reconsider the reasonable adjustment issue.
