Ms L Harris v King Edward VI Community College: 1402442/2021
JUDGMENT
[1]Contrary to s. 15 of the Equality Act 2010, the Respondent subjected the Claimant to discrimination arising from disability, which it cannot justify, by dismissing her without commissioning an Occupational Health Report assessing the efficacy or otherwise of an 8-week mental health recovery course, provided by a Secondary Mental Health Service, which the Claimant was part-way through at the time of her dismissal.[2]For the same reason, the Claimant was unfairly dismissed by the Respondent.[3]By 19 May 2023, the Respondent must pay the Claimant compensation, including interest, in the total sum of £12,863.32.[4]The claim of failure to make reasonable adjustments fails.[5]Full oral reasons were given at the hearing. If any party requires written reasons, these must be applied for by email within 14 days. Case Number: 1402442/2021
