Claimant v DHL Services Limited

The tribunal found that the claimant was discriminated against because of something arising from his disability. The respondent's treatment of the claimant was unfavourable and was because of something connected to his disability, and the respondent failed to show the treatment was a proportionate means of achieving a legitimate aim.

The tribunal found that the respondent did not fail to make reasonable adjustments. The tribunal was not satisfied that the respondent applied a provision, criterion or practice that placed the claimant at a substantial disadvantage compared to non-disabled persons, or if it did, that the proposed adjustments would have been reasonable.

The claimant withdrew the application to amend to include a complaint of direct discrimination after the respondent indicated it would not pursue costs if the amendment was not pursued.
