Damages for discrimination over prosthetic arm

A 22-year-old ex-employee of an American retailer in the UK who suffered discrimination due to her prosthetic arm has been awarded £7,800 in compensation for injury to her feelings, £1,077 in lost earnings and £138 in damages for wrongful dismissal. The employee, a student who is studying law, accused the American retailer of “hiding her” in the stockroom of its flagship store in London because of her disability.
