Discrimination arising from disability: director's unsympathetic comments about mental illness

Wickers v Colchester Visionplus Ltd t/a Specsavers Opticians ET/3200619/2015

disability discrimination | discrimination arising from disability | constructive knowledge

This tribunal decision concerned a director who made dismissive comments about an employee's medical condition instead of considering whether or not she had a disability. The tribunal found the employer had constructive knowledge of the claimant's disability and the comments were discrimination arising from her disability.
