JUDGMENT
PRELIMINARY HEARING
For the Appellant | MR J SHEPHERD (of Counsel) Instructed by: Law For All PO Box 230 Brentford TW8 9FL |
JUDGE WILKIE QC:
"However, the appellant was unable to return to work due to his disability and his subsequent dismissal. Therefore it is submitted that the respondent did not, in reality, make any reasonable adjustments in relation to the appellant's back problems"
Then it goes on to assert that there was a failure to comply with the statutory obligation, not unlawfully to discriminate by failing to make reasonable adjustments.
"unrealistic for the applicant to suggest that he should be re-trained as a social worker which was now a three year university course."
