Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant was a police constable with Parkinson's Disease and, as conceded, a disabled person for Equality Act purposes. He brought claims under sections 20 and 21(2) of the Equality Act 2010 for failure to make reasonable adjustments, and under section 15 for discrimination arising from disability. The tribunal accepted that the respondent knew, or ought reasonably to have known, of the disability and of the way the claimant's condition affected his working life, including from the July 2015 and April 2017 occupational health reports.
