Judgment

Lord Justice Elias:

1.

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!

2.

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
