A sample of 100 employment tribunal rulings on disability discrimination gathered by XpertHR shows that, while depression and limb disorders such as back pain are the most common health conditions that lead to tribunal claims, there are a surprising number of dyslexic claimants bringing disability discrimination claims.
As a result, we've kicked off a series of disability discrimination employment tribunal round-ups with a detailed look at five cases where claimants, perhaps spurred on by the decision in Paterson v Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis [2007] IRLR 763 EAT [subscription required to access the individual case reports], argued that they were discriminated against because of their dyslexia. The round-up of decisions on disability discrimination and dyslexia [subscription required] includes one payout of around £18,000, so it's not an issue that employers can afford to ignore.
You can keep track of interesting employment tribunal decisions that you may not have heard about in the press in XpertHR's employment tribunal case reporting service.
