Case Summary

The claimant claimed that Network Rail Infrastructure Limited failed to make reasonable adjustments to accommodate her disabilities (type 2 diabetes and hypertension) by refusing her request to work two days per week from home. The tribunal found the claimant was disabled but that the respondent did not contravene the Equality Act 2010, and dismissed the claim.

Why this outcome?

Claim not well-founded

The tribunal found that although the claimant was disabled, the respondent did not contravene section 39 of the Equality Act 2010 by refusing the request for home working arrangements. The failure to make reasonable adjustments claim was not upheld.
