A librarian with a disability was not discriminated against when her employer put her through a competitive interview process for redeployment instead of appointing her directly, the Employment Appeal Tribunal (EAT) has held.

She has a disability due to an allergic condition, and the university had previously allowed her to work off campus, principally at home, because of this.
