"I see nothing wrong with the approach of the Employment Appeal Tribunal in its analysis of the Employment Tribunal's decision. It recognised that the Employment Tribunal may have gone wrong in law in approaching the question whether the claimant was a disabled person on the basis of her limited mobility. The EAT recognised that had the Tribunal properly addressed that issue they might have found that she was. But they noted that the Tribunal went on to conclude that even if she were disabled in that way, the reasonable adjustments that she claimed ought to have been made in her favour, particularly in relation to aspects of finding alternative jobs and redundancy exercise, would not have had to be made because it was not reasonable that they should be. The EAT was not required to send the matter back to the Tribunal in circumstances where the outcome would have been inevitable, given that finding. I do not for the moment see that any of the findings of the Tribunal would have been affected by that decision and that was plainly the view of the EAT. In this context it must be noted that the Tribunal found in terms that the reason for dismissal had nothing to do with disability. As to the question of costs, there was a careful analysis by the Employment Tribunal, and the EAT concluded that it was well within their discretion to award the respondent half its costs. Like the EAT, I see no basis for interfering with that finding. In particular, the fact that the Tribunal erred in its analysis of her disability, as the EAT found really had no bearing on the reasoning of the Employment Tribunal as to the appropriate level of costs."
