Old Buckenham Park (Brettenham) Educational Trust Limited (T/A Old Buckenham Hall (OBH)) v Parker: EAT 3 Jul 2009

EAT PART TIME WORKERS
DISABILITY DISCRIMINATION: Reasonable adjustments
UNFAIR DISMISSAL: Constructive dismissal
The Employment Tribunal did not err when it held the Claimant was Head of Art and so appointment of another constituted constructive unfair dismissal, and since the employer required the new Head to be full-time and the Claimant was not, it discriminated against her as a part-time worker and failed to make reasonable adjustments for her need as a disabled person not to work full-time.
