Legal executive found to have been sacked because of disability awarded €20,000

 
The owner of a legal practice has been ordered to pay a legal executive suffering from a stress-related illness €20,000 compensation for her discriminatory dismissal.
The legal executive was on sick leave for stress at the time of her discriminatory dismissal in January 2019 and also suffered from depression.
Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) Adjudication Officer, Niamh O’Carroll Kelly, found that the legal executive was sacked on the grounds of her disability.
Ms O’Carroll Kelly stated that stress came within the definition of a disability due to the fact that the stress in this case was severe enough to exacerbate the woman’s pre-existing depression.
