DDA reasonable adjustments on redundancy
by Philip
The Court of Appeal has handed down its decision in NTL Group Ltd v Difolco. Mrs Difolco was partially paralysed and could only work part-time and was made redundant. She was offered the chance to apply for another job which was full-time but if she was appointed NTL would consider changing the role to part-time. She wanted it to be part-time before she applied and claimed that by failing to convert the job to part-time the employer had failed to make reasonable adjustments. The Court of Appeal held that this could not amount to a failure to make reasonable adjustments as until she applied for the job no such duty arose.
