Neurodiversity refers to the different ways the brain can work and process information. Some of the well-known types of neurodivergence include ADHD, Autism, Tourette’s Syndrome, Dyspraxia and Dyslexia. It is estimated that 15-20% of the global population are neurodivergent, and diagnosis in adults continues to increase due to increased awareness.
In Eddie Stobart Ltd v Graham, the Employment Appeal Tribunal (EAT) reduced the compensation awarded by the Employment Tribunal to a successful claimant, concluding that an award of £10,000 for injury to feelings was “manifestly excessive and therefore perverse” given the limited impact of the employer’s actions.
In the much anticipated judgment in Higgs v Farmor’s School, the Court of Appeal has found that the claimant was subjected to unlawful discrimination for expressing controversial beliefs on social media.
