To me this result epitomises how flawed the DDA is and how it fails to defend disabled people's civil rights, with weighting in favour of employer's and providers interests. I also wonder if there was reference to Malcom as part of the ET deliberations. The EHRC have published a response to the problems Malcom caused here: http://www.equalityhumanrights.com/legislative-framework/legal-updates/recent-developments-in-disability-discrimination-cases/the-malcolm-case/ I too am pleased for Riam for her successful compensation claim, but I wonder what it takes to prove “direct” disability discrimination if this case can’t?
