UCATT (Union of Construction Allied Trades and Technology) v Short (Disability Discrimination): EAT 29 Apr 2013

EAT DISABILITY DISCRIMINATION
UNFAIR DISMISSAL – Compensation
An Employment Tribunal did not err in not using the Ogden tables in calculating future loss for disability discrimination and unfair dismissal. Wardle applied.
The use of the word inflation, once, in context with references to wage increases on 13 occasions, did not mean the Employment Tribunal impermissibly took account of inflation at 2.5% pa. This was the estimated figure for wage increases and promotions by a trade union to its officer.
