Ms Karon Monaghan QC and Ms Laura Prince (instructed by the Bar Pro Bono Unit) appeared on behalf of the Appellant.
The Respondent did not appear and was not represented.
Judgment
Lord Justice Elias:
I am satisfied that two of the grounds raise points of some real interest and they certainly should go through. I take the point that it might be thought surprising if an employer could say we have received advice that an employee is not disabled and rely on that. I am very curious to see what the outcome is!
A time estimate of one day. Three Court of Appeal judges. There is no particular urgency. Counsel to serve a bundle which is more helpfully organised.
Order: Application granted
