MS sufferer fights discrimination and gets £8000.
Mr D suffered from MS and wanted to change his working pattern when his illness worsened. His employer refused!
What we did
Sarah Parr took the matter before an Employment Tribunal pleading a case of constructive dismissal and disability discrimination. The employer was advised by the tribunal that working from home was one of ACAS's suggested alternatives for working people who suffered with some form of disability. Shortly prior to a further hearing, a settlement was negotiated between the parties.
Background
Mr D had Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and as his illness became progressively worse he asked his employer to work reduced hours or to work from home. His employers refused. Mr D had to use up all his holiday entitlement to work fewer hours, and when these ran out he resigned claiming constructive dismissal as well as discrimination under the Disability Discrimination Act.
