  Date:
  
  28 January 2002
  
  In Cosgrove v Caesar & Howie, the EAT holds that an employment tribunal erred in law in holding that, because the disabled employee in this case and her doctor could not suggest any adjustments that might enable her to return to work after a year's absence due to depression, there had been no breach of the employer's statutory duty to make reasonable adjustments.
- On appeal
  
  Date:
  
  15 January 2002
  
  Continuing our regular series on the implications of recent significant cases. James Humphery, partner at Trethowans Solicitors, Southhampton, looks at the issues.
- Applicant does not have to show reasonable adjustment
  
  Date:
  
  1 September 2001
  
  In Cosgrove v Caesar & Howie the EAT has ruled that the burden is on the employer to show that there was no duty of reasonable adjustment in respect of a disabled person, rather than on the disabled person to show what adjustment would have been reasonable.
