JUDGMENT
Revised
For the Appellant | MS C O'DONNELL (of Counsel) Instructed By: Ripon Citizens Advice Bureau 5 Duck Hill Ripon HG4 1BL |
For the Respondent | MR B CARR (of Counsel) Instructed By: Messrs Eversheds Solicitors Cloth Hall Court Infirmary Street Leeds LS1 2JB |
JUDGE J McMULLEN QC:
"The best that the Applicant can do in this matter is to point to the second report of Dr Burton."
"As is apparent an 'impairment' for the purposes of the Act may thus include medical 'conditions' of various kinds."
And used other forms of words which in our judgment do not require, as a requirement, the use of the word "illness". As Morison P said in Goodwin v Patent Office [1999] IRLR 4 EAT:
"The expressions "illness" and "impairment" in this context are each to be construed relatively broadly. ... What is we think clear is ... that, short of satisfactory medical evidence of a diagnosed or diagnosable clinical condition or other mental disorder of a recognised type."
