DISABILITY AND DECISION MAKING

摘要

The Employment Appeal Tribunal (EAT) has upheld an employment tribunal's findings that an employee was fairly dismissed for misconduct but that the employer's actions amounted to disability discrimination which was not capable of justification and that it had failed to make reasonable adjustments. In Crosset v City of York Council1, Mr Grosset worked as head of English at a secondary comprehensive school operated by York Council.The school was aware of his disability by virtue of the fact that he suffered from cystic fibrosis. Reasonable adjustments were made when he joined the school in 2011 by the then head teacher.
