The Labour Court rejected Edward Bourke’s appeal, finding no disability discrimination, failure to provide reasonable accommodation or victimisation. The determination was signed on 16 January 2026, and no compensation award was recorded. Bourke alleged that the Council offered unsuitable roles, failed to accommodate him and retaliated against him for making complaints. The Council denied this and said it made reasonable efforts to offer suitable work. The Court found the evidence did not establish discrimination or a request for reasonable accommodation, and found no link between his complaints and the roles offered.
