EAT DISABILITY DISCRIMINATION – Reasonable adjustments
UNFAIR DISMISSAL – Constructive dismissal
Employment Tribunal (a) found the wrong comparator; (b) found a reasonable adjustment to encourage a disabled employee to return to work was to hold a disciplinary hearing whilst she was on sick leave; (c) found that a failure to do so amounted to constructive dismissal. Appeal allowed on all 3 grounds. The EAT decided that the claims should be dismissed.
