I attended a legal update last week and among the cases discussed was
Coleman v Atridge Law (EAT 2008). They said that
"The ECJ ruled in July this year that the European Treatment Directive
from which the DDA is derived provides protection against associative
discrimination in respect of direct discrimination and harassment"

I have read these findings twice, is it just me or is this a confusing
report?
Please excuse my ignorance, but is this case ongoing, and waiting
findings from the European Court of Justice?

Hi! I have a case referred to me at this time which is complicated and
would be interested in others opinions with regards to the potential
unlawful discrimination under DDA of a wife, whose ability at work is
being affected as she is the sole carer of a husband with Bi Polar
disorder.
I have been quoted the Coleman & Attridge case 2006 where a similar
appeal was won by the claimant. If this case sets a precedent, then as
OHA's we need to assess the whole family with regards to any potential
DDA assessment.
Has anyone else experienced this situation? And just how detailed should
we be "digging" in cases like this? Your experiene shared would be most
helpful.
Please reply to my personal email address. Regards, Sue
