Chacón Navas v Eurest Colectividades SA [2006] IRLR 706 ECJ

Disability discrimination: European community law and the definition of 'disability'

Date:

22 September 2006

In Navas v Eurest Colectividades SA Case C-13/05, first case to come before it on the issue, the ECJ finds that "disability" within the Framework Directive is not to be equated with "sickness" and that discrimination solely on the grounds of sickness does not fall within the scope of the Directive.
