Claimant v Dover Harbour Board

The tribunal found that the complaint of indirect disability discrimination was not well-founded. The claimant did not satisfy the tribunal that the respondent applied a provision, criterion or practice that put the claimant and others sharing his disability at a particular disadvantage, or that such treatment was not a proportionate means of achieving a legitimate aim.

The tribunal found that the complaint of failure to make reasonable adjustments was not well-founded. The claimant did not establish that the respondent had knowledge of his disability and failed to make adjustments that would have been reasonable in the circumstances, or that he was placed at a substantial disadvantage by any provision, criterion or practice applied by the respondent.

The tribunal found that the claim for wrongful dismissal was not well-founded. The claimant did not establish that he was dismissed in breach of contract, either because the dismissal was with proper notice or because there was sufficient cause to justify summary dismissal without notice.
