Case in Point - Timing of Assessment of Disability Vital

The Employment Appeal Tribunal (EAT) has held that the proper time for assessing whether the complainant has a disability under the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 (1995 Act) is the time when the alleged act of discrimination took place, and not the time of the tribunal hearing.
