EAT DISABILITY DISCRIMINATION: Disability
The Employment Tribunal found that the claimant, an applicant for appointment as a regular constable, was a disabled person. She failed the screening for the requisite vision standard. Employment Tribunal erred in finding that the respondent’s refusal to allow the claimant to go forward in her professional life amounted to a substantial adverse effect. Further, Employment Tribunal’s alternative conclusion that the claimant suffered from a visual impairment which had a substantial adverse affect on her ability to carry out normal day to day activities was perverse.
