Reports relating to this case:

  • Disability discrimination: End user of contract worker's services was "principal"

    Date:
    1 December 1999

    Where there is an unbroken chain of contracts between an individual and an end user, the end user should be regarded as the "principal" within the meaning of the contract-worker provisions contained in s.12 of the Disability Discrimination Act, the EAT holds in MHC Consulting Services Ltd v Tansell and others.
