Judgement
The tribunal found that Pilawa was disabled, and the company was aware or should have been aware of her disability.
Her dismissal was deemed unfair, and she was found to have been discriminated against due to her disability and the company’s failure to make reasonable adjustments.
The award totalled £31,707.34, including £15,000 for injury to feelings.
The tribunal noted that evidence for dismissal reasons was fabricated, and no policy for system access removal was in place.
It's also interesting to note that by way of a reasonable adjustment, Pilawa was allowed to give evidence for the 8-day hearing from her bed.
