In Smiths Detection-Watford Limited v Berriman the EAT held that the tribunal had wrongly concluded that an employer was bound to make reasonable adjustments simply because it knew that the employee was disabled. The issue of reasonable adjustments was closely intertwined with the issue of justification of less favourable treatment and should have been considered first. The tribunal's decision regarding discrimination under the Disability Discrimination Act was fundamentally flawed and was therefore set aside.
