Veterinary Laboratories Agency v Sandvik: EAT 5 Oct 2011

EAT DISABILITY DISCRIMINATION
Direct disability discrimination
Reasonable adjustments
UNFAIR DISMISSAL – Reasonableness of dismissal
The Employment Tribunal did not follow earlier CMD orders for the trial of issues and made findings on different issues. It did not address time-bar and justification. Its finding on unfair dismissal was so connected with the failure to deal adequately or correctly in law with the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 points that it could not stand. Appeal allowed and a controlled remission to a fresh Employment Tribunal.
