Volunteers are not protected by disability discrimination legislation, even where they are remunerated to compensate for loss of paid work, the EAT finds. The judgment in M Breakell v West Midlands Reserve Forces'and Cadets' Association concerned a case brought under the Disability Discrimination Act iggs (DDA), but also applies to future cases brought under the Equality Act 2010. Breakell was appointed as a volunteer adult instructor with Shropshire Army Cadet Force (SACF) in accordance with the terms of the Army Cadet Force Adult Instructor's Terms of Service.
