Scottish Opera Ltd v Winning UKEATS/0047/09/BI
Appeal by employer against decision that the claimant should be allowed to amend his claim from a pleading of unfair dismissal to failure to make reasonable adjustments under the DDA 1995, in circumstances where the claimant had suffered a seizure that prevented him from carrying out his driving duties. The employer had argued that the claim was debarred as the claimant had not lodged a corresponding grievance but the EAT upheld the Tribunal decision that the grievance procedure did not apply.
