Griffiths v Secretary of State for Work and Pensions EAT/0372/13 (1 other report)
In Griffiths v Secretary of State for Work and Pensions EAT/0372/13, the EAT held that an employment tribunal was entitled to find that a disabled employee whose extended sickness absence triggered a warning under the employer's attendance policy did not suffer a substantial disadvantage compared with employees who were not disabled, and that accordingly the employer was under no duty to make reasonable adjustments in the application of its policy.
