The Employment Appeal Tribunal has considered whether or not an obese individual who suffered from multiple symptoms was disabled for the purposes of disability discrimination legislation.
In this case, the employment tribunal found that a manager's single remark, despite being of a sexual nature, was intended as a joke and did not amount to sexual harassment.
The employer in this tribunal case successfully defended a man's sex discrimination claim over the common issue of its dress and appearance code applying different rules to men and women.
