disability discrimination | reasonable adjustments | medical reports

In Spence v Intype Libra Ltd EAT/0617/06, the Employment Appeal Tribunal (EAT) has held that a failure to obtain and consult on a medical report before dismissing an employee does not in itself breach the duty to make reasonable adjustments for disabled employees.
