This podcast looks at the remedies available where a finding of discrimination on the grounds of disability is made. Analysis is given of declaratory, compensatory or recommendation remedies, the test to be applied in each and some of the case law in this relatively new area of employment law. The process for calculating quantum of damages is not as straightforward as might be assumed, especially in light of the recent case of Dunnachie and the decision in Vento regarding injury to feelings.
