The Labour Court found that A Health And Fitness Club discriminated against a worker by dismissing her because of her disability and awarded her €13,000 compensation. The determination was signed on 18 February 2003. The worker had been employed as a child-care assistant. The club said it considered her unfit for the work, but the Court found it had not shown she could not continue in the role. It also found that the club dismissed her without obtaining medical or psychiatric advice or assessing risks, and did not discuss her future with her before deciding to dismiss her.
