A landlord that refused to allow a tenant to install a stair-lift in a block of flats had not discriminated against the tenant on the grounds of disability under section 22(3) of the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 (DDA 1995). There was nothing to show that the landlord had treated the tenant differently from other tenants of the building.

In the course of the judgment, the Court of Appeal gave guidance on the meaning of discrimination for the purposes of section 22 of the DDA 1995.
