Arrangements and “substantial disadvantage” under DDA

A claim under section 6(1) of the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 required it to be shown that an employer’s arrangements placed an employee at a substantial disadvantage, and an employer was not obliged to make any adjustment to a role to remedy ‘substantial disadvantage’ before a potential candidate applied for a job. The tribunal was obliged to refer to or identify ‘arrangements’ where they were not obvious.
