In this episode we look at dismissal for long-term absence. The classic explanation of how a fair employer should approach the issue is East Lindsay District Council v Daubney but the law has moved on a bit since then and we now have to think about disability discrimination as well as just reasonableness. How much of a difference does that make and is the Court of Appeal decision in O’Brien v Bolton St Catherine’s Academy the way forward, or should we look to City of York v Grosset?
