Edwards v Pick Everard: [2023] EAT 61

Appeal against findings that the claimant had been fairly dismissed where she claimed the dismissal was related to her disability

The claimant had been hired by the respondent in 2018 and said she informed them of her dyslexia, which she said had not been a problem in previous jobs. A colleague noticed that there were some issues with the way the claimant saved files on her computer and her use of a mobile phone that the claimant said was because of dyslexia apps available on the device. At a disciplinary hearing, the claimant failed to provide a report on her dyslexia and whole dismissal seemed the only option but the claimant resigned before the decision was made.

The ET dismissed the claims and in this judgment HHJ Tayer does likewise as the tribunal had not erred in law. He also provides at [32-39] a useful review of the correct approach to reading employment tribunal judgments and decision making.
