EAT Unfair Dismissal – Definition of ‘disabled person’. An Employment Tribunal had erred in its approach to whether the Claimant had an impairment having a substantial adverse effect on her.
However, the Tribunal had found on unimpeachable grounds that any such effect was not long-term. It follows that the definition was not met. Additionally, the appeal was wholly academic. The Tribunal had held that the claims of disability-related discrimination would have failed on their merits, given the facts of the case, even if she had been a disabled person.
