Fareham College Corporation v Walters

disability-related discrimination | reasonable adjustments | comparators

The Employment Appeal Tribunal (EAT) has held that, in a claim of disability-related discrimination, and where the employer had failed to make a reasonable adjustment, the employment tribunal's failure to carry out a comparative exercise according to London Borough of Lewisham v Malcolm did not invalidate its decision that there had been less favourable treatment for a reason related to the employee's disability.

Ms Walters was employed as a lecturer by Fareham College Corporation.
