Employment law (disability discrimination)

    To what extent do you consider that amendments made by the Equality Act 2010 ensure that those discriminated against of the grounds of disability have the same protection as those discriminated against on other grounds? Consider the impact of the judgment of the House of Lords in London Borough of Lewisham v Malcolm [2008] UKHL 43 on the protection afforded to disabled workers and analyse how far the current law goes to protect disabled people in the workplace.

    The cases that I would like to be added are the following:(can add more cases)(these are the basic discrimination cases that should be included, further cases can be found in the articles)

    -Coleman v Attridge Law: C-303/06 [2008] IRLR 722, [2008] ICR 1128
    -Clark v TDG Ltd (t/a Novacold) [1999] IRLR 318, [1999] 2 All ER 977, CA.
    -London Borough of Lewisham v Malcolm[2008] UKHL 43, [2008] IRLR 700
    -Chacón Navas v Eurest Colectividades SA C-13/05 [2006] IRLR 706, [2007] All ER (EC) 59
    -Aderemi v London and South Eastern Railway Ltd [2013] ICR 591 EAT

    it is important to discuss the changes equality act has brought and how far does the law extend to protect disabled employees. can potentially talk about the growth of mental health problems such as depression(does the law consider depression, obesity etc as disability)
    it is important also to talk about associative and perspective discrimination, that it allows even someone who doesn’t have a protected characteristic to be protected under the act. section 13 is super broad.
    should also talk about direct, indirect discrimination
