Claimant v National Highways Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal unanimously found that the claimant failed to establish discrimination arising from disability under the Equality Act 2010. The claim was dismissed following a four-day full merits hearing.
Facts
Mr Jarvis brought a claim of discrimination arising from disability against his employer, National Highways Limited. The case proceeded to a four-day full merits hearing before a full tribunal panel. The claimant represented himself while the respondent was represented by counsel. Full reasons were given orally at the hearing.
Decision
The tribunal unanimously dismissed the claimant's claim of discrimination arising from disability. The claimant failed to establish that he had been subjected to unfavourable treatment because of something arising in consequence of his disability.
Practical note
A claimant bringing discrimination arising from disability claims must establish both unfavourable treatment and the causal connection between that treatment and something arising from their disability.
