Kirker v British Sugar plc [1998] ET/2601249/97 (1 other report)
In Kirker v British Sugar plc a Nottingham industrial tribunal (Chair: D R Sneath) holds that a visually-impaired chemist selected for redundancy was discriminated against on grounds of disability and awards compensation of £103,000.
Nicholas Kirker, whose vision is so poor that he is eligible for full blind registration, was employed as a shift chemist at British Sugar's Newark plant until he was made redundant in March 1997.
